Moving on !! Progress Update

It's been a while since my last update. a lot has been happening with the boat aswell as with other stuff. Summer is here and we have been trying to make the most of it while it lasts.

Back to the boat - Since bringing back the boat from queensland i realised that the difference in gelcoat color of the deck and the hull was so aovious that needed fixing before we move any forward on this project. I decided to paint a blue strip along the sides and paint the top half same as the bottom half. (this turned out to be a big job)

So it all Began by choosing a color for the side stripes and after a lot of reaserch i settled on Norglass Admiralty Blue

 

Even though i chose a norglass color i painted the boat in an automotive quality 2pack paint for better quality. So after all this a long and pain staking process of sanding, sanding and more sanding, priming and more sanding i finished the paint and i an in the procedd of cutting and buffing for a better finish (hopefully).

 

Boat in Primer

 

Then all the primer was sanded back with 400 220 sand paper then a final sand with 600 wet sand paper for a smooth finish.

The next week i sprayed the white and blue the next day.
