Masking is a time consuming process... but fun.
In this pic, I'm laying out a pinstripe. The top blue tape begins the masked edge, the middle blue tape was used as a spacer then removed. The orange tape will be the pinstripe.
Before the tape was laid down I sanded the primer to 1200, rinsed with water, then cleaned with wax and grease remover.
The hull could have really used a 3rd coat of primer but I ran out of paint and time.
Masked to shoot the blue stripe.
Its a large stripe... more like a two tone boat rather than a stripe. Its about 9" wide at the transom and gains to about 12" at the bow. -Thank you Brad Dimock for the equation!!
Had fun getting these stars cut out. It was tricky setting them in place as the design is upside down. Some of the stars are a little off, but hey, its only my first boat. Gotta let a few things go.
...Speaking of. The hull fairing is definitely not perfect. There will be some visible raised and depressed areas. I just ran out of fairing compound and didn't want to wait for it to come from florida.
In case you're wondering what is that mess on the transom?? -Its ZIZUMARA, the Delphinius constellation.
