The Yellow boat update

The Yellow boat is coming along and the outside is coming along with the antifouling paint applied to the bottom 


Now the bottom as been painted it breaks up the mass of yellow paint 


The back does not look so overbearing with the black antifouling covering the lower part of the Transom and the stainless steel on the outboard well also breaking up the mass of yellow paint


Once the black rubber fendering is bolted along the hull to deck joint the whole boat will not look so overbearingly yellow


Just got to order the bolts and washers and nyloc nuts to blot this black fendering to the hull

The Pilot 14 turns a bright shade of Yellow

The Pilot 14 has now turned to a bright shade of Yellow which the owner wish me to paint the boat from a very dark blue. 


So it begins from the grey to the bright yellow, it will be seen for a distance away 


The colour is bright, however you will never missing coming towards you from now on.




It will need a second coat to cover the white undercoat, however, I did not think it was going to cover with just one coat 


Finally finished the first coat. Put the second coat on tomorrow

The pilot 14 changing colour from its primer grey to undercoat white and then it will be painted Yellow

First job was to mark off the waterline before starting painting the white undercoat 


It a large area when you have to paint the whole of the hull and the superstructure 




Halfway through the painting of the white undercoat


Just about halfway round and it is looking better, when this is done leave for a couple of days and then paint the yellow gloss paint



The superstructure finished off 


Now back to where I started. Just got to wait for the paint to dry.
