I have been quiet for a while... but I have not been idle. There is just so much going on at work, at home and in general that I don't seem to get to everything all the time. So today I will make an update here.
Saturday last weekend, 05/10/2019, was another amazing weather weekend for outdoor boat painting! Well, primer coat anyways. After washing down the general grime from the previously painted epoxy barrier coat I masked up areas where white trim paint will be applied. I have a tin of white Perfection undercoat left over from the hull painting which was just standing around waiting for a purpose! So after wiping down the masked off areas with the cleaning agent I set about painting with a small foam roller.
Unfortunately, as with anything boat related, it took much longer than expected... the whole day!
I am happy with the results. The slightly grey areas are where the anti-slip coating must still be applied. I'm leaving the the white primer coat to cure fully before a quick wet sanding to be followed up with a final topcoat in white.
I am now busy doing the cockpit area at the moment... lots of sanding, fixing holes and removing rotten gel coat where needed. Back to being itchy again
