Painting Trim and Factory Color Found

Post by Rob »

Hi from freezing cold Ohio.
I painted my patina multicolored drk blue, light blue, green, white trim before the cold whether hit.
Image
Look what I found under the trim panels...
Image
Lime gold 699 on all the panels w PT for port top etc. Already had Bikini Blue but searched for an Olive Green. Guess that color isn't popular these days.
here's the nameplate before
Image
and the panels are cleaned and wet sanded...
Image
I painted everything white...
Image
used 1/4" tape to mask off stripes then brushed Petit Bikini Blue on...
Image
remove the tape before paint dries.
Used a flat piece of paper towel and free handed the rest of the raised areas of the name plates...
Image
Back on before the cold hit.
Image
One stupid thing I did is not remove the nameplate first the top trim came down and knocked off the tip off the tutu on the nameplate.
Luckily found the tip and didn't drop in the river, glued it back on.
