Job done.

So after a week of painting in between dodging showers and drying time I got the 3rd coat of paint on the anti-slip panels yesterday.
This morning I removed the masking tape and washed down the side of the boat and I am now as far as I am going externally this year!

I am pleased with the outcome, although it won't stay scratch free for long, it's a job that badly needed doing, done!

I will stay here tomorrow to give it as long as I can to harden and probably move on Wednesday, provisions are low so I need to do a few trips to the store in Banbury, next stop.
