Fair play, I couldn't face doing that level of detailed work outside!

We are heading Belfast do u fancy coming a long , I will let you know what time the ferry goes so you can tow your boat to it.I think your boat shall be known as 'HMS Belfast' from now on as it racks up the same nautical mileage
Tesco are very understanding hereAre you doing this in a public car park?
Boat park ?Looks like a lot of hard work! Love the new colour. Are you doing this in a public car park?
COCK UP with an FBeen eventful. 2 coats of top coat. Couldn’t get it to flow as it tacked off so fast. Went right up to 15% thinners. Was using Jotun 10. Turns out….it’s a fast thinner so now going to knock back and use international thinners 9 which is slower.
I wouldn’t call it a cock up as I was going to do 3 coats anyway but it’s a learning curve! It was suggested that wet sand back and buff but I’ll go an extra coat. I want to see it go on like on YouTube videos! ?

The colour changes quite a lot between dark and light. Be even better once it’s glossy ???Looks like a lot of hard work! Love the new colour. Are you doing this in a public car park?
I prefer a boat I can’t see my face on, you must be prettier than me. After following this thread I think I’d have left it red and given it a rub over with fairy liquid, you’ve got far more patience than me ?I won’t be happy until I can see my face in it. Whether that’s achieved by the last coat or many hours wet sanding remains to be seen!

New boat name ‘Etchasketch’, the boat all the family can designWe all said that, before he even bought it. Can't tell 'im nothing. It looked magnificent when I first saw her too. In fairness that red is hard to keep, but still probably less work than he's now let himself in for. Wait till he runs a scratch down the hull from the trailer. You can see it coming a mile off. It will be a black magic painting. All the kids round the hard will want a go. Even Roy
