Nice work Ryan. You may see that you are the only one to notice any imperfections, and over time you’ll likely think of these as adding character.
I recently paint my topsides and decks using Brightside and Kiwigrip(non-skid). Funny that I started with a “much-too-expensive Purdy brush “ but in my case found that cheap $1 Harbor Freight brushes worked out better.
