Hi Guys, The weather is holding, so I gave the hull a second coat of anti fouling and a coat of satin finish.
Then the first coat of white, as you know white has to be built up slowly, its coverage is not good, it will take at least 3 coats to get it looking right, :heh: :heh: :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1: :wave_1:

Hi Ron
I do like the brass work very much indeed.
Are you going to etch prime it before painting?
If so what product are you going to use.

Kind Regards
Philip.
