Step #14— Paint Job

This might be my most colorful blog post to date.  I busted out the paint cans and took a couple photos for you to see.
Before I painted, I covered every inch of the boat with epoxy and let it cure.  When I got back to the boat a few days later, I painted the inner sideboards with a paint brush.
I stained the seats so I could perserve a little bit of the wood grain.

I flipped the boat upside down on the saw horses and used a paint roller to color the outside.
Being the non-patient person that I am, I decided to go ahead and paint the bottom of the inside while the boat was still upside down.  Not trying to downplay Michaelangelo, but it wasn't that hard.
I took this picture while the boat was upside down

I'm going to paint another coat.  Other than that, I'm going to add some rubrails and runners and she'll be ready to launch!
