This weekend is continuing cleaning and painting the bilge. There is a lot of dirt accumulation and spilled diesel in the bilge. All this takes hours to clean up before the new paint can be applied. First is vacuuming up the loose dirt. Then washing out what is left. This takes using bilge cleaner and then fiberglass wash and a good scrub brush. It takes a lot to get the diesel up. This really smells a lot so good ventilation is a requirement.
This is the first coat of paint in the area between the port side fuel tanks around the exhaust exit thru the hull. It may take about three coats of paint to do a good job covering up the old gray paint.
