I brush painted my first boat and spray painted the second both turned out well. I tend to spray blacking nowdays as its easier than brushing and in my case its purely cosmetic on top of the zinger. Professionally the best boat painter I have seen is Shane from Castleford marine the finish is Rolls Royce quality!!!! There was a narrowboat in here that had a paint job from Cass. It looked mint, apparently it cost 12 grand. He took it back twice for some small bits rectifying, but it did look a good job. We were talking to some mates in their yard and I noticed they were spraying in the shed. it would want to look good for Β£12,000

I really do admire your scumbling,. Peter. Its terrible and I blame Mrs tabby for this but I am no longer able to read scumbling as a single word. Just can't do it.

Underwater it has 2 pack blacking over the 2 pack primer. They have a marine spec 2 pack primer designed for underwater areas expensive but good. Johny now uses it at Sheffield as its so good. I have seen early boats done by Shane and 5 years later still look good, the shed is in fact a spray booth on the water. Finesse produce some good results at Sheffield but Shane has been painting all his life and it shows in the finish the boats are like glass.

When mine was being glass blasted and zingered, the narrowboat next door was being done, plus he had another boat in the paint dock, so I saw the process hard work and expensive! Later in the year I saw the boat when it was finished, it looked better than new and was 30 years old!! I dont mind recommending good work, shit work can be done anywhere

I just wouldn't pay 12grand for a paint job on a boat, even if I had the money.

I really got fooled by this photo, I was talking to you but never had any returns, until I discovered it was only a photo of a painting of you, painted extremely real by your better half. She's VERY good at her art. Peter.

I'll be in trouble for not doing a decent shot if she sees it, dappled sun and shadows on it etc.

Way to (van) Gogh! 30 years ago, an elderly woman that knew Vincent from her past, asked me if I had a strawhead, which I had, it was an old worn out one, when I put it on, she gave me 50 Francs as I reminded her so much of Vincent, like remembered him. This must have been from the time before he cut his ear off, as I still have my ears intact. The closest I came to Van Gogh, was that a young student named Theo Van Gogh lived on a small houseboat in a harbour in Amsterdam where I often moored in the early '70, he was the grandson of Vincent's brother. He later became a writer and filmproducer, and was killed at a young age by a fanatic religious fighter after a film he had made that was seen as a racist film. The guy shot and knifed him and left a message on his chest hold in place by his knife. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_van_Gogh_(film_director)Definitely not the nicest way to die. Peter.

Peter, you can correct me if if wrong but we pronounce Van Gogh as Van Go, when it should be more like Van coch (hard Ch)

It's a pretty weird language, if my mum wouldn't have wasted so much of her time on me, straight after my birth and several years, I don't think that I would ever have bothered learning it . Peter.
