Sorry, just had to show someone, the sheep couldn't give a stuff, the dog just slept all the way through, he wasn't excited at all <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

They look so much better after the first coat of paint <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

And another.

They grow up so quickly <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Looks nice, What kind of boat is that? Sorry if that is a stupid question but I have trouble identifying cats from the hulls alone.

Its a Taipan 4.9. My new pride and joy, its taken a while to get to this stage, because of work, but I gave one job away a while ago, and have been plugging away at it a bit more recently, I can almost see the end, but not quite.

Regards

gree,
looks like a taipan to me.

Is that primer or paint. If it is paint it looks like you are holding the sprayer too far from the hull and not putting the paint on wet enough.

No, its primer, low gloss finish, I did have dramas with the gun at the time, but reasonaably happy, I'm not much of a painter. This is the first coats on new hulls, which most will be sanded off through fairing anyway, I've thought about doing to top coats myself, but am convinced to get a mate to do it, just no confident enough, with the equipment I've got and not much knowledge about spray painting.

So if it looks wrong, it more than likely is, the only things I've really spray painted is farm equipment, and the finish doesn't need to be anything special, just enough to hold the rust at bay.

Regards
