And here it is.....

First coat.....

I made use of my time though and got all the hardware put back on.

So a late start only left time for the masking before the temps, due point and light were out of tolerances for painting. That meant all I got done was the masking.

When I left last time the dagger boards were hung on my SC15 mast. Well there was this little storm that came through and blew them further down the mast. There they banged against the SC15 trailer hitch. Crap!!! Pictures are too large to post so I will try to get them retaken and post them here lat...

Ok another successful weekend. So the painting is over. The black did not come out as good as I hoped but I think it was be cause of the wrong mix. I did not realize I did not get brushing reducer. I went ahead and just used some of the spray reducer that I had plenty of. Also this was my first atte...

So this is where I left it. All the chain plates are back on. The tramp rails are ready to go on. I found several screw heads that were messed up so I needed to get to West Marine for a few and to get the striping for the other decals.

Ok so after letting the AwlGrip Snow white cure for a week it was time to get the red on. Wow this was a challenge as the wind was blowing and that made handling the first sheet of masking paper a test of patients :? :? . After that was on it was pretty simple. I got a late start but the masking was...
