Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ail" data-source="post: 364321" data-attributes="member: 14963">Today was the first nice day since last Monday, it was about 80 and low humidity finally. I got the second coat on pretty early:<img src="https://i.imgur.com/1uJBkV4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />That is much closer to the actual color than the dark green seen in previous photos. I like it. A second coat still wasn't enough as a few small places still didn't get enough paint in the various dings, nicks and other scars. So I decided to do a third coat as well. The hull heated up so much that by the end of the second coat the paint was flashing very quickly. This also helped speed up drying so I could get the third coat down:<img src="https://i.imgur.com/jdzpkgt.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Can't tell the difference in the pictures really. My plan now is too let this harden most of the week since it will be nice until the weekend. I did try to roll and tip the final coat, but it was just not going well with this particular paint. I'm okay with the paint on this not being perfect as long as it sticks. This is my first boat and there will be more. Overall I think it looks like a fishing jon boat probably should. Tuesday or Wednesday after it has had some time to harden I will start attaching hardware, put the seats back in, and work on the new bunks. I'm not sure my idea of PVC moulding board is going to work. It doesn't seem as slick as Id like it to be. People on other forums have said they have used the same stuff successfully, but I'd like to find another alternative.Around Thursday I'd like to have it ready to take out on the lake after work. We'll see how that goes and plan to start painting the inside.</blockquote>
