Gloss Paint | 1st Coat of Blue

I had previously decided to apply the blue and white contiguously, a layer at a time rather many layers at once. This was designed to avoid having a significant physical 'step' between the two colour blocks.

So the next task was to tape and mask for blue gloss.

Here is the transom, ready for gloss.

The first coat of blue was applied.

Here is the view from the front of the boat.

And here she is with the tape removed.

The paint covers really well and flows out beautifully, leaving no brush marks and no dry edges. As with the white gloss, I found that adding 10% thinners helps a lot with application.

Lastly, here is the transom with tape removed.

Looking good!
