I got two coats on, and as I admired my handiwork, my wife tells me that a storm is coming.   Right on cue, raindrops starting falling, so I scrambled to cover the boat back up.  So here is the only pic I took today:[ATTACH=full]115951[/ATTACH]You can't see much, but you might notice that all those holes and corroded areas are gone.   All welded up, sanded and primed.  Hopefully, it won't be so rainy tomorrow, and I can make more progress.I also set up my spray rig today, and practiced using it with water on cardboard.  I know this isn't the same as using paint, but I have only used a spray rig once or twice, and I hadn't set it up, so the more practice I get before doing the real thing, the better.Now, I'm off to watch YouTube videos about painting with an air gun, particularly about setup and cleaning the gun afterward.   The last time I used a spray gun, I was spraying gelcoat, and it came out great, but then the gelcoat locked up in the gun and ruined it.   I don't want to make that same mistake again.  It's an inexpensive gun, but I'd rather not ruin it like the first one.</blockquote>
