Nick-Now

Well thank you very much

Some before and after pics getting there even though been laid off with Covid. I have also done the sign writing. Came out pretty good, if I say so myself.

I started out doing it that way but chickened out. I will need ne reading glasses on to match up the lines.. The colour scheme is much brighter than I imagined but not really as bright as in photos.. just the camera lighting. However it's bright now and not miserable as before. Paint went on quite easy as weather wasn't warm and no wind. Its now had 2 coats. Needs flatting down and a thin top coat next. All paint from pdi paints in Stoke

I was going to paint the white coach line first but thought the white coach paint would show brush marks. So I'm going to have to mask up over the red n blue.

Wait and see

I've started...

Are you David who bought Ophelia?

No that's the finished boat. I think it looks wonderful. And easy to touch up.

I'm finding craftmaster raddle red t too expensive @ £30 a liter. I'd probably need 10 liters...

Ok.. then I think Raddle Red it will be.

I always thought raddle red is red oxide. It is with craftmaster paints.

I am just about to start painting my boat. I saw a new boat that was painted in red oxide three quarters the way down then blue gloss at the stern. It's a tug named Duke that I saw on Youtube. I'm thinking of either going for that look or satin black. Then glossy grey at stern. Anybody here painted there boat in redoxide or satin as a finish?

yes I go that one in Eturia, last time it was 28 but not sure now
