close to paint.
all last weekend/this week nights has been spent fairing. I'm gonna get happy with it by this Friday evening and hopefully have the topside primed this weekend. The hull gelcoat is fine, I need to wetsand it at some point, but that will probably happen once its finished and I find some time.
I'm using HMG paints; I haven't heard a lot about them but what I have heard, is good. Im spraying an epoxy primer, which they say does not need to be sanded before topcoat (minus imperfections) Topcoat is a twopart polyurethane paint (Acrythane XSC) Matterhorn White, with kiwigrip gray for nonskid. I'm going to flatten the shine to a semigloss, because I dont want a) every imperfection standing out, and b) I think it will look like crap if its not kept spotless c) I dont want it to be blinding. The pics below of the hull is just the first of many layers for fairing...I'll get some final pics of it ready for primer tomorrow.   The console took a pretty good hit at some point in its life, but the trim will cover most of this up:  I also removed the lip, ill need to make an inside cleat for the console to mount to the deck  Hatches ready to go:
