[QUOTE="bluegrasser, post: 194177, member: 4652"] Well... It's been a long couple of weeks. Again, weather turned cold and wet. I had the boat scheduled to be sprayed with an epoxy coating, but the day of that, temp plummeted into the mid 30s with freaking snow! The result was an awful paint job that I then spent quite a while sanding off. So, the last week has been spent rolling on a new coat of epoxy (a two-part epoxy made by Porter Paints - it should function the same as the Steelflex that everybody likes so much on this site, but it was a local product. This has turned out to be fortuitous as I have needed more of it to correct issues). Got the hull completely covered with the gray epoxy paint. It is sealed pretty good! Today I finally put on my second color - a dark blue color for the sides and transom for areas above the water line. It's a two-part polyurethane. I brushed it on and it was looking nice and glossy. However, as I made my way to the other side, I went back to look at the first side and it had SAGGED considerably! It looked horrible. I did my best to quickly put on a foam roller and roll it out. The finish looks rough, but I hope at least I smoothed out some of the sags and runs. We'll see tomorrow in the daylight. In the meantime, here is the concept at least: [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TZ5yGhk0mEI/AAAAAAAAB2s/SCr0s1lzpp0/IMG_5309.JPG[/img] [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TZ5yGOep9GI/AAAAAAAAB2o/425H1DQaGPQ/IMG_5308.JPG[/img] I think I have some more sanding in my future. :evil: But, I like the color scheme and am excited about getting closer to the finished product. =D> [/QUOTE]
