Dorade Boxes | Priming Interiors

While waiting for a decision on how to proceed with the final coat of paint on the upper hull I started work on the remaining parts of the boat.

The first was to apply primer to the Dorade box interiors.

To do this I initially decided to paint them through the ventilator hole in the cabin roof. I devised a brush with an extra long handle to do so.

Here it is.

It didn't work particularly well, so I switched to priming with a 6" roller through the inspection hatch holes.

This is it.

That worked much better.

It's impossible to take a photo of the interiors, so I won't try.

At time of writing the fourth coat has just been applied. One more and they will be ready for gloss.
