Companionway Hood | Priming The Interior

One particularly challenging task was priming the interior of the companionway hood.

I could only use a brush to paint the front and the sides of the hood, and used a long handled roller to paint the top and bottom surfaces.

This is the tool set in action.

These activities had to be done on consecutive days to allow the paint to dry, so it took a long time to apply five coats. I thought five would be plenty, since the interior is not visible and does not require a super-smooth finish.

There is not much to look at, but for the record here is the inside of the hood after five coats of primer.

The next step is to abrade it with a fine grit, ready for gloss.
