Painting the Inside

Yesterday, the pram came out of the cellar and into the garage where she will be painted. I fine sanded her all over and cleaned up all the dust until I could run my hand over the planks and only feel wood, no grit or dust. Tonight, I taped the knees which will be varnished and rolled on the first coat of cream colored paint. This is the first time I have ever rolled paint on a boat. It does a nice job. I tipped out the streaks made by the roller with a brush. I also used the brush to get the places the roller didn't.


The end product looks nice. I used Epifanes marine enamel. I will do three coats in the end. I plan to sand the first coat with 220 grit sandpaper and then not sand between the second and third coats.
