Some very nice work man! You are going to have one strong fine boat when your finished and I can tell your very proud of her. I wish I had finished mine half as clean as yours on the inside. This winter I may do some tinkering.
FIRST RATE!
Oh and a friend of mine has the c olor your looking for painted on his little wooden production boat. Very pretty! He went with a lighter inside color but it was called cucumber they both play off one another very well.

Picture of my buddies boat? I tried to take one of the inside but the color looks white. Its far from white but sure looks like it in pictures. Its a very light green but if you put it next to blue it will have a blue hue to it. Really cool color. Unless you are set on using System 3, many paint makers can match anything. If you cant come up with something I can try and be a middle man or hook you up with BLP MOBILE PAINTS.

I already have the S3 primer, so i'm just going to stick with the complete system.
Thanks,

It's been a while but the outside of the hull is finally faired and painted. And it only took 113 years (that's what it felt like). The paint job came out an 8 out of 10 (I am happy but not extremely happy). I sprayed the primer (S3) and it came out great using that tecnique, the paint (S3) didn't spray very well it would have run's even when spraying a light coat (thinned at the recomended maximum of 10%) so I had to tip in several locations and the last coat with crossliner seemed to be the most difficult to spray.
My next boat I will roll and tip if I use the S3 paints unless somebody can show me how to do it right.
The bottom of the hull is Graphite / Epoxy and the sides are Orcas White. I am definately going to have to tone down the inside as the orcas white is blinding in the sun........
I will be flipping it today and will finish the interior (install console and fiberglass floor) hopefully by the next 2 weeks.
Launch day is now June
/ if every thing goes well.
