I'm ready to paint this week, finally, however my paint guy isn't, I nearly convinced myself to DIY, but without any quality spraying gear, I didn't see the point of spending more buying new gear, however hes not ready too paint this week unfortunately.
After the last undercoat, I gave the hulls a mist spray with a black aerosol, it makes things a hell of a lot easier to see, including pin holes and scratches, then used the filler method above.
I spent all last two weekends on the wet n dry, and they've come up really good, as I said, ready to go, can't wait.
Regards
