Re: Painting
PROGRESS REPORT
I GOT MY BOTTOM GEL COATED LAST WEEK I HAD A GUY DO THE FAIRING AND THEN PUT 2 GAL OF GEL COAT ON THE BOTTOM. I NOW GOT A LOT OF SANDING TO DO. I ALSO PUT THE THIRD COAT OF PAINT ON THE CENTER CONSOL, AND PAINTED THE HULL WITH THE SECOND COAT. IT CAME OUT LOOKING VERY GOOD AND WAS PLANNING ON THAT BEING THE LAST COAT ON THE OUTSIDE UNTIL A CAT JUMPED UP AT THE TRANSOM AND OFF THE SIDE JUST AT THE WORST TIME POSSIBLE. I TRIED TO FIX IT BUT WITH TACKY PAINT THAT ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I NOW HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE THE OUT SIDE OF THE BOAT A THIRD COAT. I HAD A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER COMPLEMENT ME ON HOW GOOD IT LOOKED, YOU REALLY CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM ROLE AND TIP AND SPRAYING THE BOAT “IT’S THAT GOOD”. I HAVE STARTED PUTTING THINGS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. I HAVE A DEADLINE OF JUNE THE FIRST TO GO TO THE KEYS AND I AM DOING THE MAJOR THINGS NOW. I WILL HAVE TO DO SOME OF THE COSMETIC WORK WHEN I GET BACK.
