Day 35

Thanks Ron for your kind words. The Red has had three coats now and I will let this stand for the rest of the day and most of tomorrow. Im going to the International Boat Show tomorrow at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre, that will take away the temptation of going into the workshop and applying masking tape to that red paint.

Day 36

Well I was all ready to start applying the Blue when I noticed something was missing! As usual when you forge ahead and get carried away there is always something that gets overlooked. In this case it was the backing strips for the bump rails. Can easily be missed as one would think that the rubbers are added after the hull has been painted, in this case there are strips that go behind the rubbers, silly me lol. Easily sorted, however, it means that I will have to wait for the additional primer to set. No problem, Blue tomorrow guys.

Nice save with the backings for the bump strips.

Thanks Ian. Would have been a problem afterwards as some of the strip edges are exposed and would need to be Blue.

I was going to say .... You've got no bumpy backing bits ..... Yeah, like I know what they are

Seriously though.. This is coming on really great Andy, your primer finish is excellent, better than I've seen some do in the motor trade before spraying.

[Guest]

Thank you Colin, I think I could get a job as a sprayer now lol.

Day 37 Cont...

With the Blue now dry I have removed the masking. I don't like to leave it to long in case the glue reacts and lifts the paint when its removed.

Cont 2...

Thanks guys, Well sitting and waiting isn't my forte and I tried it but couldn't hack it lol. So I decided to apply the white line. Now I'm not going to cheat and say I painted it because that's not my way. While at the boat show last weekend I purchased some Model Techniques Trim Line (white) This comes in many widths on the roll and you cut the strip you need 2.5m length. It works well.
