Some pics during construction of my 540g

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
very nice
 
Nice project! Looks like its going to be pretty wild.
 
All the epoxy is in. 2 coats green then 2 white then 2 blue. I went with blue because they were out of black and I'm glad I did. The Sweetwater paint in dark blue is incredible. The glass will go back in next weekend, and a fill test the weekend after that.

Fiberglass is stronger, but I have 2 coats of truck bed liner under the 6 coats of epoxy and all internal corners are slightly rounded so I don't think the fiberglass was neccessary.If I was to do it over again I would fiberglass the inside, at least in the corners.

The epoxy I used was "Epoxy paints by Sweetwater". You can find it at www.aquaticeco.com
