Well, Barefoot (1981 Princess 37) is out of the water at last! Now the work starts. Theres a jobs list as long as anyone elses... but one of the first that I need some advice on is the paint job.
Before I bought her she had been painted from the waterline to the gunnels. This is now peeling badly. Obviously I have to remove the loose, and try and ease any edges where the loose has been removed, then key up what is left. Then I re-paint. But with what?... And any advice/do's and dont's in terms of application.
I'm totally open to any advice or suggestions for an alternative course of action, however, budget is paramount.
I'm going to start keeping a photographic record of what and how I do things and try and start a blog on here to maybe serve as a refernce for anyone else. I'll do a more thorough search in the next day or two as I'm sure these questions have been answered in depth before, and I know how boring it can be posting the same advice time and time again!!!
Thanks for any suggestions,
Simon.
