Sorry Pac but someone used that word re the sundowner buff. You can call it reddish or w a touch of magenta or whatever. Don't worry .. it's not girly paint and you won't need a bunny tail to go on your stern. That's why they call it "Sundowner" buff. Like red in the sunset?

When I mentioned the GB Beige I wasn't suggesting you re-paint it because the color was bad. I like what I see.

You can see the straight Sundowner Buff color in my post #56 on the cabin sides. You may be able to see the hint of red (not going to use the P word). I'm going to overcoat it w three can tan.

Thanks Manyboats . Maybe once we take the green tape off it will look different. It looks beige from some angles .

This is not a hint of William having a coming out soon is it ?:eek:
 
To paraphrase Lloyd Bentson...

I know pink....in fact pink is a friend of mine, and that, sir, is not pink!

Now that's pink and you sir are da Man .Thanks Al for clearing that up .
 
I don't think it looks pink either . Maybe some of you guys have some of that "Purple Haze all in your brain" left over from the late 60's
 
As usual: even through the HAZE Joy's fine work shows and yours to :thumb::thumb:
 
We had a few minor complaints from folks at the dock about the paint fumes .My only response was "sorry for the buzz but there is no charge" . "How about a beer ":hide:
 
Ok you guys are right it's not really pink but kinda peachy . I finally got it out in the sunlight . I guess the basement is not a good place to mix colors . Glad we didn't put the hardware back on . We will have to repaint in the spring . Can't deal with this color !:eek:

How about if you let it get a year's worth of UV? Maybe it'll either fade or you'll get used to it.

Does coral sound more manly than peach?
 
Back on the paint . Now we are on the cabin . Filled all holes and gel coat cracks with quick fair , sanded and primed with Interlux primer Pre -Kote . We will sand primer and put first coat of 1 part Brightside on tomorrow and no it's not
Pink :nonono:

Hi Marty,
We've decided to use more Sundowner Buff. Like retain it on the cabin and perhaps elsewhere. Plan on putting darker coats on the decks where the 3 can mix is. And we've found that while wearing certian shoes we need some anti-skid.

I'll take some pics but I lost my i-mac so it will be difficult. For you just downsize your pics. I'll PM you about that. I usually downsize mine to about 800 KB and post 4 or 5 pics at a time. You can load them up 4 at a time and post 12 or so when you finally post.
 
Eric , We mix about 20 parts white to one part sundowner to get the beige we want .
 
Very timely info as usual... Pack Mule, you mentioned painting your deck. Can't tell from the pic but do you have factory non-skid surface???? I'm starting my prep work to do a topside paint and would love to re-paint my decks. I have the fns surface and am not sure what issues i may run into such as filling in all of the valleys and defeating its purpose.....tips,hints, ideas????
 
The roll and tip did not go as well today as in the past . Too many widows to cut in around and couldn't move the paint fast enough . I plan on sanding out lap lines and just going with super fine nap roller on second coat and let it go . Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't .Good thing William is not pristine . We repeated " it's just a boat " several times today . It was still a nice day off from work . :D Sorry guys no pictures just yet . Plus it was great way to spend our forty-second anniversary .:flowers::flowers::flowers:

How'd it go?

Is the super fine nap roller the same as a varnish roller? I want to do our doors and are looking for any suggestions.
 
I find that foam rollers work well for varnish as well as urethane paints.

Larry ,
We just used a 1/4" nap . I couldn't find any thing smoother locally . I have never tried a roller with varnish . I needed a little texture in one area to help hide some flaws . Overall it turned out pretty good . We just finished up a couple hrs ago . Joy is going to do some touch up tomorrow and remove tape then I wiil post some pictures . I think on the Interlux 1 part it's all about getting it to flow and that means thinning but not too thin that it runs .
It gets tough trying to keep edge wet when cutting in around windows and changing directions .Long stretches in one direction works best .
 
We finished up the cabin sides and wheel house yesterday . This 1 coat primer and two coats paint . I have 4 pics and will post them all .

The shiny spots in this pic are where we repaired some areas of non skid and did not go back with non skid . Plan on adding some teak rails and teak frames under the hatches that should help hide some of this .This area was rolled only .

Looks like you found that 'island packet' french vanilla color you were looking for. Looks great!
 
Looks like new!
