[QUOTE="bluegrasser, post: 191133, member: 4652"] Took some doing, but I got the boat interior totally cleaned out (took two nights with a box of rags and heavy-duty cleaning solution). Got heaters in the garage and cranked up, because - of course - the outside temp has plummeted and even snowed last night. That [i]would[/i] happen when I"m finally ready to paint. Got a good primer coat on yesterday and a finish coat today. It's not perfect, but a lot of it will eventually be covered by marine carpet. Nonetheless, a huge difference from what it used to look like! [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TY-hV2NMH4I/AAAAAAAAB2Q/VNXU2Rum2mo/IMG_6107.JPG[/img] Had "fun" painting the transom area and the styrofoam interior of my cooler slot on the back bench. Those areas took almost as much time as the rest of the boat. [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TY-hWqyYPwI/AAAAAAAAB2I/-P4CN8hY8-g/IMG_6108.JPG[/img] This angle makes the boat look crazy wide, but the paint looks nice. [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TY-hXE1DECI/AAAAAAAAB2E/qb5W9iTYU8g/IMG_6110.JPG[/img] Next step... Later this week I should get a chance to take it to my wife's warehouse where I can finally paint the exterior/hull. Can't wait!!! [/QUOTE]
