Forgot to paint the "hump" in the cockpit floor that the rudder stock passes through.
- Warmer. Cockpit surfaces at 66 degress per IR thermometer.
- Taped around the areas to be finished smooth.
- Applied white Pre-Kote
to all cockpit surfaces to be painted smooth (vs Kiwi-Grip). Applying the primer makes all defects in the surface obvious and such defects remain obvious unless paint is forced into the hollow of the defect.
- Applied white Pre-Kote
to one winch base and the indent lid.
-
- Next steps:
- Buy more 2" foam brushes.
- Sand with 120 grit and apply second coat of Pre-Kote
.
- Sand cockpit locker lids.
- Paint cabin aft interior bulkhead, first coat with High Gloss White
?? Might be best to wait to see how the Brightside
looks in the cockpit.
-
- Remove the access plate in the cockpit floor and fill diamond pattern below access plate flange.
- Need to decide whether or not to remove the cockpit drains for this project. -- NOT
- Need to decide whether or not to remove cabin top winches to refinish inside cabin there as well.
