[QUOTE="technohillbilly, post: 268264, member: 7337"] The paint was done freehand. I first used 3 cans of spray on etching primer to paint the boat inside and out (to the chines/waterline). When that was dry I then used 6 spray cans of flat finish paint (4 cans of 3 shades of green (2 cans of darkest olive green), a can pale yellow and a can of black). I started with the darkest green and I just gave a quick squirt of the can as I swept the can in an angled top to bottom motion and then I repeated the process for each of the other greens. I did a color at a time and built up the layers of color, then finished off with some highlights of pale yellow and black both used sparingly. I hope this makes sense. Our duck season (March to June - southern hemisphere autumn (fall) to early winter) has been very quite due to a lack of a job (the G.F.C. has resulted in me losing my job but I think there might be some light at the end of the this tunnel). I have however been out a few times (I have a very understanding wife) and I've managed to put enough birds in the freezer to see out our needs until next season. [/QUOTE]
