Avatar's New Paint

After spending the whole first week of the haul out gettting the boat ready, the second week was painting.  Beto from Palmar Boatyard sprayed 3 coats of Emron white on the hull.

  It takes 3 guys to paint, one to spray, one to hold the canister and the other to spot and move the hose.

Beto spraying, while other Beto is watching.

The guys quickly refill the paint canister.

So Shinny!!  Can you see the reflection of the travel lift?

Next is the detail work for her accent lines.

The tape job is critical. 

All the white must be covered.

The Turquoise trim looks sharp!

Topsides done.  Next bottom paint.

The new transduces, bedded and taped.  Ready for paint.

Now that the paint is dry, new stickers applied.
