| I have a Manta that needs repainting, don't want to screw it up.....
Does anyone know, or have an educated guess, as to what River Run is using as a top/clearcoat on the Manta?
Thanks

| I use envirotex without any problems. On this bait I hang it by the tail and brush on a thin layer. |

| I have repainted Mantas for a few buddys, Be careful if you remove the plastic lip.
You can remove the screw eye if you want just e-Poxy them back in when your done.
Sand bait with 80 grit then 120 that should scuff down most of there clear.
Re paint then re clear with E tex 2 time should be good. If you have a drying drum use it if not,
temp put the screw eyes back and hang up for 5 min up and down for 5 min.
I know this sucks and takes time but it should turn out fine do this for the first hour
at 75-85 deg this should tack up enough not to run.
Or you could paint it and I,ll clear it and send it back.
