the cagarros are painted on
the boat has a beak, and once the hard dodger is on it will have eyes as well
still deciding on
friendly eyes -- or mean eyes `´
most modern cars today have mean eyes/headlights

The Shearwater has Landed (is painted)
one side is painted,
considering the lack of availability of good signwriters paintbrushes,
I am happy with the result.
The boat hull has had 3 coats yellow and 3 coats red, and the deck has had three coats of cream - the deck still needs some coat/s of the non skid paint

3rd red coat on hull 3rd yellow coat on bow and transom ...
... and the first of 3 coats on the rudder,
next up 2 more coats of cream on the deck, If you are tired of these pics, imagine that between each coat the hull was hand sanded or scotchbrited - so on top of the faired and sanded hull there were 2 coats of epoxy, 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. I am a little tired of sanding, but the final effect makes it all worthwhile!
