Ryan,
Your paint job looks great! I just saw this post because I am about to attempt the same thing on my 33 foot three quarter tonner and did a search on the topic in this forum. Thank you for the information. I have researched the roll and tip method and also found some pretty good instructional videos. That will be the method I use. One issue I had is my waterline. It is correct in it’s placement on the boat but the last painter did a terrible job with it – both the boot top and the line between topsides and bottom paint are wavy and need to be removed and re-done. I recently figured out how to deal with that thanks to a great video by a shipwright so I am about ready to tackle this. I just need to measure and record the position of the existing water line on the bow and stern points and with that will be able lay down a new water line. I will also be painting my deck and toe rails. Have you launched your boat yet. I know it is early but how does the paint seem to be holding up Burt 1971 33-3 quarter tonner On the hard in Walpole, MA USA From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ryan Doyle via CnC-List Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 1:53 PM To: davidjaco...@comcast.net Cc: Ryan Doyle; cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List My Experience and Mistakes With Interlux Brightside/Interlux Prekote Hey Dave, Thanks! I'm ball parking, but I'd say this is approximately how long each portion took. 1.5 hrs to tape off the boat 4 hrs to sand initially with 150 grit 2 hrs to prime (New day) 2 hrs to sand primer 1.5 hrs to prime (New day) 2 hrs to sand primer again 2 hrs for first finish coat (New day) .75 hrs to sand 1.5 hrs for second finish coat (New day) .75 hrs to sand 1.5 hrs for final finish coat (New day) 3 hrs total to tape off and do a couple coats of paint on the stripes and stars. You could also do these with a stencil (but I just used bits and pieces of tape) If my math is right, that's a total of about 22.5 hrs. This was spread out over a couple of weeks.
