We put on some bottom point this afternoon and this is what it looked like at the end of the day. The bottom paint has copper particles in it and the paint dries in a minute. You can't go back and forth with the roller to smooth it out because the roller starts picking up the paint you just put on! You roll a couple of times, in the same direction, and that is it. The good part is that you can put on another coat in 10 minutes and hopefully cover the places you missed the first time. Funny stuff and, about twice the price of single malt Scotch!
The hull now has two coats of the final blue color. It looks beautiful to us even though the surface is not perfectly glossy.
Elliptical ports were recommended by Allan, Steve, and others so what you see is pieces of cardboard stuck to the house with tape to simulate this. What do your think? Looks pretty good to me!
Tomorrow I hope to clean some of the rust and scabby paint from the trailer and start to make it look better.
We don't know how much longer we will be able to use the heated warehouse lent by a neighbor so am trying to quickly do as much painting as we can. Next week the outside temperatures are expected to be around zero F.
