After grinding out, filling, and fairing some spider cracks in the hull. I shot the first couple of coats of primer and added some more coats on the inside. The primer showed a few more blemishes that I'm going to work on... I don't think you can ever sand and fair enough, but its looking better and better after each step. I found a fantastic painting "how to" on youtube where Frankie gives a really simple, straightforward process to using awl grip products. I've been using his methods and I'm very pleased so far. If anyone is looking at the daunting (and expensive) task of spraying awl grip, I highly recommend you take a look at his stuff! A very exciting step is coming up. My dad is bringing down some stainless rub-rails he shaped and had welded in Maryland and we will be fitting them to the boat in the next few weeks!
