After fairing, high build primers, and surface primers, multiple coats of Awlgrip™ polyurethane topcoats are sprayed. Here the smooth sections of the deck are sprayed and masking of the nonskid is underway. Hulls can be more challenging to paint than decks. When you look down the side of a hull there can be a number of deficiencies: bulkheads, shelves and stiffeners pressing on the surface, roving or reinforcement print-through, or mold and fairing problems. On light coloured hulls these can go unnoticed, especially if the hull has lost its gloss. If however the hull is a dark color, then these are usually very apparent. Getting rid of these problems requires refairing the sides of the hull, starting with longboards and a coarse grit sandpaper, followed with high-build epoxy primers. Although, occasionally some hulls require refairing with epoxy fillers as well. After the high-build is sanded fair, epoxy surfacing primers are sprayed on and sanded, followed by topcoating with 4-5 coats of polyurethane topcoats.
