Painting the Hull

Any questions feel free to email me: lakers@sprynet.com

With the hull all together I made sure everything was sanded down well, filling any gaps. Then lay a good coat of primer down.

I then lightly sanded everything before applying the Satin Black base coat.

I then taped off the bottom for the grey hull bottom color.

Here's the final painting on the bottom.

I then went ahead and painted the upper trim of white around the hull. just want to make sure everything is covered in tape and paper so none get on un wanted area's.

Here's the hull her new paint job. Now I can get to adding the detail.
