Well, the outside painting of the hull is now finished!!! it looks OK, it's never is going to look like a new boat but the finish has turned out very well.(I think)
It was a 2 pot International paint which dries very smooth and looks as if it has been sprayed.
This was achieve not without a little at drama, I had mixed up enough paint for one side and we had an unexpected rain shower, the weather was warm 25deg which meant that the paint was already starting to go off. (panic, I had a $100 worth of paint turning to goo)
What to do? a quick read of the instructions showed at 7degC the pot life was 5 hours, so a bit of cling film over the top and into the fridge till it stopped raining, phew!
Luckily Mrs DIY was not at home
