Getting crazy with the primer
So while I have been in the forward tank so much lately installing the bow thrusters, I decided to start putting a bit of Amercoat 235 light grey primer on top of the green Dimecote inorganic zinc primer. Just to brighten the place up!
Doesn’t that really make the rivets and ribs look great? Wow – it is starting to look like something! I got the primer out because I mixed up a gallon to use outside to paint the inside of the bow thruster tunnels that I had just sandblasted. Now that all the TC bolts are welded up in the hull, I realized I could paint the inside too – so I started. It looks white in the pictures, but the color is actually light grey.
Here are some shots from the outside of the primed tunnels.
