...Now it's Gray for a while...


Finished off the priming, and applied the last coat of primer in gray, mixed to approximate the topcoat color gray. I'm very happy with the white/gray combo. Our primer is a bit lighter than the eventual topcoat, and it shows up whitish in photos. Still, super cool to get a preview of the boats appearance.

The primer is going to cure for a week or so, then get sanding down with ~400 grit, and then we spray the good stuff!


Also spent a couple hours today applying fairing compound to the (rather messy) glass on the keeljoint. So long as I'm in the paintroom, I'm trying to get the most out of the clean air and warm temps. I'll be rolling (ugh) on teh Interprotect for the bottom late next week. No point in having a pretty boat if its not fast.
