Painting V-Berth & Lockers

On Saturday, November 20th, I made it back down to Froonie for a few items on the ever present (seemingly never ending) list of items to do for completion of the restoration. My next restoration will be closer to where I lay my head down at night - the commute to Froonie swallows roughly an hour of what could be productive time. Anyway, I was thankful to get back down for some work. In addition to installing the mast beam, I finished sanding the v-berth lockers in order to get ready for paint. After unwrapping my body from the contortions required to reach into these awkward spaces, I vacuumed the sanding dust and wiped down all surfaces with acetone.

I began by painting the lockers; and used Interlux Pre-Kote gray for these spaces. I used a foam roller (cheap throw-away from the BORG - "Big Orange Retail Giant"). The tight corners were hit with foam brushes. I had nearly enough of the Interlux gray Pre-Kote, but will need to come back with another application and to hit some areas that I had to leave unpainted due to lack of material. You can see from the picture below, I had completed the lockers and that I was moving on to the v-berth platform.

For the v-berth platform, I used Interlux Pre-Kote white. I will need to come back for a second coat on these surfaces. Ultimately, the v-berth platform will be painted with Interlux Brightsides.
