I have finished painting the v berth area and the cabin top and sides of our Didi 40 Cr. There is four or five coats of paint depending on the area and the standard of finish I want. Under the berth it is all epoxy while in the living spaces I am using International Toplac. There is still a lot of painting to do. The lockers need a final coat of two pack epoxy gloss while most of the under deck area in the main cabin needs the last coat of Toplac. That still leaves the bulkheads and locker fronts to have their final undercoats and top coat but that will have to wait until the water tanks, settee seats, engine enclosure, fridge and kitchen benches are completed. This week should see enough of the painting finished that we can start bolting on deck and cabin top fittings, hatches and portlights and clear some of the rumpus room and sun room of fittings.
V Berth painting finished. Now I can install the varnished bunk tops.
The ceiling and cabin sides of our Didi 40 Cr are painted ready for varnishing the laminated beams.
