Interesting. Do you have internal ribs to support the structure? foam to give boyancy? Othewise i guess your going to seal the shit out of it an hope it doesn't leak? Otherwise yourl have the worlds first raceboard submarine.

lol no. This is actually my short raceboard project. I only had 3 epoxy paint colours to choose from at my local hardware: black, white, and grey. However, its actually epoxy paint for appliances, which i misread, and the grey is really stainless steel to give that old fridge a refresh.

So now, I have a stainless race board. But since i'm still trying to fair out the surface, its given it a 'metal handwork' feel.
