Day 11 & 12: Prime Time

Today is the big day ! I get to PAINT! I used a primer called Pre-Kote, blue painters tape and regular paint brushes/rolls.

I began by going over all the metal/things I didn’t want painted with blue painters tape.

I then just started painting, going from one side to another.

At the end of the first coat, it looked like this:

…which looks crazy good! And I didn’t think that it needed a second coat, but my dad convinced me otherwise. So I waited 2 days for it to dry. Then I did coat 2.

The boat ended up looking like this with both coats of primer on.

And I gotta say, I could not be happier that I listened to dad when he said that it needed a second coat.
