Pics above show 6 coats A2000 primer on hull bottom along with 4 coats of Primekote on the sides. I alternated between grey and white A2000 so I could see how many layers I was sanding through. Each coat of Primekote was block sanded with 220 grit.

I finished replacing almost all the wood in the cap with divynicell and decided to insulate my forward fishbox while I was at it. Built a mold, lined it with cellophane and filled with 2LB expanding foam. Then I shaped it to accommodate the stringers. What you don't see is that I painted it with white epoxy resin.

Then back to painting. Used Interlux Perfection and IT WAS A *****! I rolled and tipped 7 coats while handsanding with 320 grit between coats. Each time it was different problem. Ended up building a tent with a ventilation system and shooting it. Finally great finish. Put 3 coats of Performance VC on the bottom and now just a little hand sanding to get it glossy on the transom and at the bow and that phase of the project will be done.
