Lower Hull | Touching Up & Prettying

With the lower hull now fully painted and varnished, it was time to apply the final cosmetic touches to make it really pretty.

I had experienced some minor bleeding between the white and blue areas of gloss paint, particularly at the transom but also also where the masking tape crossed over the chine.

So I masked up the errant patches. Here is a corner which needs blue paint.

And here is one which needs white paint.

This is the blue stripe after touching up and pulling tape.

That's a nice crisp line now.

I didn't mask off the bow eye and it got covered in paint, like this.

I carefully scraped off the mess, so it looked nice again. As here.

I think that's it for the lower hull. Time to schedule the flip and to do whatever else we can in the meantime.
