Odd! Your thread seems to have bifurcated. Another conundrum for Stephen (Fireboat).
Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug

Not bad to say this is probably the second time in my life I’ve praypainted anything don’t think I’ve done too bad but looks better than the last paint job and the dark colour is just what I wanted not too light and not too dark thanks everyone for the comments means a lot for my first big project I know it’s not perfection but I’m working on it

Interesting, came out lighter and more blue than I expected👍 Well done Wez.
Looking towards the front one can see what a tremendous difference the ambient light and incident angle can make.
Should come to life nicely out on the lake in the sunshine under a blue sky.
Look forward to seeing that👍
Cheers, Doug😎

Well that went better than I thought and I know it’s not perfection for most but it’s an old bettered boat and next year needs completely sanded down to perfection the sides were badley scared but it reflects on how old it is so after 6 coats I’m happy with it will put some lacquer on next to bring the paint out
