Boat Painting season is upon us! Given the ineffectiveness of crossing fingers etc. to ensure good weather for the duration of the job, I started painting NB "hope" undercover in late march.
There's a fair bit involved in getting the right finish in a narrowboat paint job. As many know its more about preparation than painting!
After removing all the cabin fixtures, rubbing down and painting with red oxide primer I appear to have a blue ratchet strap growing out of my ear!
The same view after just a bit of work (!) and surgical removal of blue strap.
Painting is hard but rewarding work. Long may "hope" stay shiny!!
Sand paint on the cruiser deck provides a safe non slip surface should it rain, or the captain be overcome during imbibement.
Fittings replaced and ready for launch.
