Seatback Lockers | First Coat of Gloss

While waiting for the fourth coat of gloss to harden for sanding, I applied gloss paint to the seatback locker interiors.

This will have to be done in two stages - the areas that are not visible, and those that are on show.

Clearly the invisible areas do not need to have a top quality finish, which is just as well because it would be nigh on impossible. A foam pad will suffice to do this.

The areas on show are the floor, back wall and forward bulkhead.

I decided to paint the latter first, using the techniques learned from applying primer. Use a roller to apply the paint, and the 1" brush for tipping out.

Here they are.


That worked well. This is the view inside the starboard locker.


Not bad at all. Four more coats will do the job.
