Paint...

[Dale Tanski]

The cabin and cockpit has been painted on Maruska. Just in case you were wondering, all of the smooth surface on deck took one quart. 

Now let me clarify with some additional details.  I used Awlgrip and one quart of paint really adds up to two quarts of liquid because you have to add equal amounts of converter.  I sprayed the coating so there is some loss there.  The standard Awlgrip color that matched very closely on my boat by the way was Oyster White.  I also used Moon Dust for the nonskid which is a sand color with the Interlux nonslip additive.  The cabin top nonskid and the cockpit are done but I am holding off on the side decks for a few more days.  I am rolling on the Moon dust and would guess it will take two quarts to cover everything with two coats.

Just thought you would like to know for those of you who maybe contemplating this project. The port project is going very well also.  I will be installing the opening ports today and the New Found Metal fixed ports in a few days.  I am waiting for a sample of gasket material which should be here any day.  They look fantastic!
