Painting Our Sailboat: Diy Project Challenges And Adventure

[@geniksonthego8963]

Since painting, we have noticed one spot that has what look like warts. Do you know what this could be caused by? We sanded it off and repainted, and it happened again.

Haha Murray mixing paint like he’s pouring a cup of coffee! I love it!

@@graeme-sailingskeptic lol, except he doesn't drink hot beverages. He's a bit weird in that respect. But I drink enough coffee for both of us.

This was a challenging task. Let me know if you have ever painted a boat and suffered similar challenges.

@@storyofstargazer218 good luck with your paint job. I would love to have even a tent over the boat, but it's really not in the ideal location to be erecting such a structure.

@ mines just 2x4 on 4 foot spacing then tarped just a simple building at the time i think it was a couple grand to build probably twice as much now but i couldnt imagine trying to do it with out it honestly a tarp structure or a boat whats the difference i feel like either is an eye sore to most

@@storyofstargazer218 we are going to be shrink wrapping it with a structure on the deck, so we can keep working through the winter. It would have helped with the finish if we hd even just done it before the last coat.

@ i have to remind myself im going to be sailing and abusing it and using it i gotta remember itll probably only look this good once hahah so dont sweat the small things kids will be running around the deck leaving foot prints regardless
