| I like the colour of the off-white paint. |
I had to take the paint off - the Petit sandless primer is really an excellent primer, but the instructions must be followed.
I let the paint dry and that was my mistake. The fact I painted two-thirds of the boat did not help. Now the Unepoxy
comes off in ribbons and must be completely removed. My mistake.
Okey dokey. Two weekends of 'lost' time and now the boat is basically back to primer stage. Very frustrating, but a real
lesson learnt.

| Worked on Deck and Hull to remove Off-White Paint |
I sanded the cabin and deck with 120 grit paper to give a tooth to the primer. I carefully cleaned the sanded surfaces
and got out the trusty roller and started again. It went on great and of course, will need at least two more coats. By Easter
Monday, I felt I had to give myself a boost and so I tackled the Navy Blue paint. Oh, it looks just great! I do have some
'orange peel' to tackle, but that is going to get sanded away. I have to remember to thin the paint as the vapours evaporate.
No, it's not my grandfathers oil paint.

| FIRST COAT OF NAVY BLUE, AND RE-DONE FIRST COAT OF OFF-WHITE |
|
| SANDED FIRST COAT. |
|
| SECOND COAT, OFF-WHITE. |
|
| THREE COATS ON HULL AND DECK! |
|
| FIRST NEW PAINT ON HER BOTTOM |
No picture yet, but I have started the white boot stripe. The rains in Florida have been torrential and that and close
to 100% humidity makes it difficult to apply the Easypoxy.
