[Public-list] Interlux Brightside

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Bill,

IMHO if the hull looks that good, I would leave it alone from experience. I
did the same thing with Carina Vela when painting with Awlgrip. The final
coat didn't look any better then the previous, I created more work for
myself.

Stephen

No runs. Minimal (if any) orange peel. From 10 feet it looks stunning. I now
realize how good the painter was when it was painted black 25 years ago!

(I will be my worst critic, I know.) I wish I knew the original 1966 color.
I had to repaint though in the spirit of restoration so I can attend the
50th Anniversary parade!

I think I'm going to give it one more shot.
