ok im going for it, probably over the weekend
hazegry you are right yours really did need depth to the colouring, and you did a great job.
so ive done the trawl doors, now the boat needs to catch up, a few days fishing at sea is the look im going for, so there will not be overly rusted areas.
it is very possible to get carried away, however i also know that the boat wouldnt be allowed to rust viciously in any areas, many quick fix paint jobs happen throughout the year to preserve as much integrity as possible.
new rust is very bright, older or deeper rust gets darker, thats the simple moto of rust. I dont see alot if any rust around stanchions as a lot of people like to do, in fact the space where the stanchion is tends to be cleanest on the hull. Very little rust will be forward of crane gantry. Hatches may have light streaking, the mast may have light streaking. The hatch where the net gets emptied will have some wear and tear on the hull.
Im going to let loose on shading, as this is predominant in the first week or so after painting...
So its good in my head, ive talked about how im going to approach it...lets see if these hands can make it happen
ill update shortly
