Well it has been a good and bad day. The good bits are the paint has went on pretty well. There are still a few bits that need to be filled and touched up, but on the whole the paint is ok.
Seems I might have underestimated how much paint this thing will take as well.
I was going to do a few other things on the boat, but between spending 2 hours onto computer help desk getting PC repaired and the car breaking down I have not had the chance.
