Cleaning up the boxes before gluing the sheer line on, I think I'm almost sure I ain't gonna fair them, just clean a little more then prime and paint, again what would you guys do? keeping in mind it's a b..ch to sand them.
Of course cockpit sites above the sole will be faired and receive black/red paint

Hit them with primer and see how they look.

If they aren’t visiable or accessible via hatch, then who cares?

Why even paint them? Are they sealed? (Yes). Ever going to see it? (No). I didn't paint under my sole.

Peter in all honesty epoxy is only broken down by sunlight. So if they are going to be covered forget about painting them. Just cover them and be done with it. These are same as the compartments of your C25 and you didn't paint those did you?

What follows is humor...

I think peters concern is that once he powers death trap up and shoots off the dock like a bat exiting hell with its nads lit and flaming like cherries in a fancy restaurant and that pile of wood flies into pieces of various sizes, he doesn’t want to be judged as a sloppy Workman.

That’s my thought anyway.
