Enjoy the seat and the view!

Can you almost hear the water lapping against the hull?

Today, 3rd coat. Had to sand first and more vacuuming. My middle name is vac.

Got the headliner started. Door back on. Good day.

Still need to get 3 windows on.

really coming together. I like the sapele trim. I hope to make some doors out of sapele for my house next year.

What sorcery is this?
SW precat water base. Basically hospital paint. 3 coats looks nice. Scrubbable, too.

Rolled and backrolled with a moltopren roller to take the roller marks out,

Can you apply it wet-on-wet?

Nope. 8 hours.

Sand between coats? I'm guessing so and that's why you earned your middle name "Vacuum".

I only sanded after the 2nd coat because there were some wall variations showing through between quikfair and my homemade mix. Sanding the 2nd coat was done with 220.

It looks pretty nice and was a lot less work than 2 part poly. And supposed to be scrubbable.

seems like a pretty awesome paint product.

Do you have any exterior painting left or just inside?
