SO HERE ARE SOME PICS, I JUST FINISHED REPLACING THE STRINGERS AND TRANSOM I WILL POST PICS OF THAT. SO OVER THE WEEKEND I SANDED THE ENTIRE BOAT DOWN AND PREPED IT FOR PRIMER SUNDAY. DAD STOPED BY THE SHOP AND BEFORE I COULD MIX THE PRIMER HE HAD ALREADY MIXED IT AND HAD THE GUN IN HAND. AND PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT (NOTE HE HAS BEEN PAINTING FOR 30 YEARS) SO I JUST SIT BACK AND TAKE NOTES.

 TODAY I BLOCKED THE BOAT AND THEN APPLIED THE FINAL THREE COATS OF PRIMER AND I GOT A LIL CARRIED AWAY WITH THE GUIDE COAT AKA THE BLACK SPRAY PAINT YOU SPRAY OVER THE PRIMER THE SHOWS YOU THE LOW SPOTS AFTER YOU SAND. WHO NEEDS STICKERS? SHOULD HAVE IT ALL BLOCKED AND READY FOR PAINT TOMMOROW. AND MAYBE HAVE IT PAINTED THURSDAY IT'S GOING ALL WHITE AGAIN.
