Kiwi Grip:

I used a custom color, but I could have easily used their standard...I think I ended up about the same place. I did find it quite easy to color by the local Sherwin Williams store (not home depot!). The guy spent 10 minutes punching his calculator, then blended it up purposefully.

I bought white for a reason: painting my headliner inside the boat. I did my best to put a decent surface on the factory roughness...made worse by fiddling through the last 40 years...then rolled on a couple of coats of white Kiwi Grip using a foam roller. The idea was to make the surface uniformly rough so that the whoppies weren't as obvious. This is a subjective opinion, but I'd say it worked rather well. Looks better than the factory original white-grey-black fleck budget housepaint, certainly.

Really nice job there. Good idea using the Kiwi in the cuddy, the gloss paint I used is pretty good at highlighting every ripple. You guys sailing in Cleveland yet?

Yes, Mike...sailing season started very early this year, and it has been great because the spring heat has not arrived yet...and the customary violence of the daily T-storms hasn't b een in evidence. It will come! But, "Full and By" is still in my shop, receiving her wood trim and wiring....
