It's a small 40" Wahoo.  They are excellent table fare and grill really nice.

Looks like a fast fighting fish ... probably fun to catch!  (And ... eat!)

Time for some primer.  I'm using Alexseal products which have a hefty price tag, but does a great job.

What kind of sprayer are you using? I assume an HVLP, but is it a GP one or a detail gun?

I bought a pretty nice HVLP gun, but loaned it out and came back messed up.  I have it torn down soaking now trying to save it.  In the meantime I picked up the cheap Harbor Freight guns yesterday for $15 each.  I can get those dialed in pretty good.  They won't last long but will do the job.

I agree Todd.  The bunks and cubby holes were to difficult to spray so I rolled some top coat today with a 4" foam roller and chip brush.  The pictures above was just of the normal epoxy primer.  I used an epoxy filler primer on the bottom which was really great stuff.  It would be expensive but you could easily fill the weave of 6 ounce cloth with that filler primer.

I'm going to prime the cabin outside roof tomorrow and top coat the rest of the cuddy and pilot house inside roof.  Fingers crossed for no orange peel or runs.   HAHA

Most of the outside is in primer.  There are still some areas with pin holes and such so some more fairing will be necessary.







I did get some top coat put on the roof.
