The first preliminary photos of a painted boat are trickling in from the garage.
4 coats of Stars and Stripes Blue! If you get real close, you can see the orange peel, and we have some runs, but it’s time to move on.

It looks good as long as you don't mind your paint job no one else will notice the paint job either. I like the colors. Tom

Really impressed with that paint job, Dan. Color is great and the color combo is really nice with the white cap and bottom, very very sharp! Congrats and another huge milestone!

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Thank you, Jeff and Tom! I've had these colors in my mind for 3 years now. It is very satisfying to see them live. The product is very forgiving, user friendly, and the local rep was above and beyond helpful with coaching and available for advice in the heat of the battle on Saturday.
Finish will not meet the Cracked Ribs reflect a beer can standard, but will hazily reflect the image of a dog. So I have that going for me.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Feels good to do some work on the boat that doesn’t require mixing, vacuuming, or a respirator.
Piddling with first coats of varnish and hardware. A variety of oval head screws sizes. #s 6, 8, 12 & 14 all have a place. I’m sealing all thru hulls with 4200.
Forward fuel vent was too close to in line with the fill hose, so it took some wrestling to get the fill cap and the vent tight to the cap and hull, respectively. It will be a bad day if any of this stuff ever need to be replaced.
