Painting the Bilges


 At first I was thinking of not painting under the floorboards at all to save time, but eventually thought better of it.  Here you can see I am painting the bilge areas a light grey.  I am using an epoxy-based paint specially formulated for painting bilges.  All the grey bilge paint will be hidden under the floorboards.  Above the floorboards the walls of the cabin will be painted an off-white very similar in color to the Hatteras White I painted the Skerry, but I'll actually be using house paint.


Here are a couple shots of the bilges after painting the second coat.  I will probably add one more coat, then on to the cabin walls.
