It is done! - Well it has a coat of paint on it, I have attached phots and it certainly looks shiny enough. There are quite a few dodgy bits, and will probably find a few more when I get it out into the sunlight. Learnt a few things though: Bake the paint in the sun for a few days before you rest its weight on it - carpet isnt good for a new gloss finish. Heat the both the hulls and the air around it to about 25-30deg C before painting. With a direct drive compressor, run about 10 litres of air through it prior to painting as the compressor heats the air - the gradual heating evaporates the thinners unevenly giving an 'orange peel' effect. On a windy day, air will bring dust into a closed shed - dont paint the decks with them facing upwards, lay the hulls on their side so dust etc cant settle straight on them. Anyways, once the paint is hard, its on with the fittings and on to the water!!!
