Gloss or Matt on Life boat tops
« on: March 21, 2024, 01:13:28 pm »
Just been gifted a Mersey class lifeboat. Query, are the two tops of superstructure Gloss or Matt?. At the present they appear to be Matt. I can understand it being Matt. Thank you, Nemesis

they have an anti slip layer which, because of it's grain structure and long time dirt always looks matton the cabin deck and on the roof too (you can see the diference in the screw/nut lines and where the number ist on the roof.
I think they are all like that, my example is one of the douglas boats (I have no personal photo to share, sorry).

Thanks for the reply. It figures as this model had about 4mm of dust on to top, by the time I shampooed it off it had the matt finish but the Nos were gloss, thank again. nemesis
