I have a 52" musky carving that hangs under the carport at the lake. The sun destroyed the finish and it was faded and peeling. I did a repaint and had a friend that is a body and paint guy put an automotive clear with UV protection to make it handle the sun better.

Great work! That is an awesome piece.

Thank you!

That looks great. Nice job.

Thank you!

Awesome

Looks real sharp!!

That does look real nice. How do you keep the birds off of it ?

Awesome job.

That is super cool> Great work!

Looks really nice, good job.

i tried making and painting fishing lures but I don't have access to fishing anymore so i gave up ))

Flipper, everything you create is excellent! I'm sitting here looking at Zim's bluegill right now.

Cool

That's one thing I haven't clear coated ...lol

Did you go with the mat finish clear...

Or glossy ??

2K clear will give the best UV protection

Thank you all for the kind words!

It gets some on the top and needs cleaned every now and then. It is up high so it's hard to see the top of the fish where they sit.

When I clear a carving I normally use clear gloss lacquer after I heat it up with a hair dryer. This was a gloss clear that he put on, I am not sure what the product was. I try and stay away from spraying things with hardeners because I am not set up to do it safely.

Excellent

Thanks!
