              Chris,
              The painting looks good to me I don't think the finish on the real thing would be uniform due to bleaching and the weather.

                  HI Scottie yes i think you are right about the deck as salty seawater will bleach the deck an thank you for saying the painting looks good but thats the best i can do as this paint is a thick paint an i have to work fast as its a quick dryin paint an you cant repaint over it untill it propberly dry or the paint will curl up an then it wil look even worst cheers for lookin in

                          Just had my first catch up on your build for a couple of weeks Chris. That paint is certainly bringing it to life....
