DIY Narrowboat Painting outside. Is it possible?

Hello thank you for watching, today we repaint a narrowboat outside.
We are not aiming for a professional finish. But as you will see the result is pretty good.

Nice that guys!
Wasn't aware of the brushing after rolling technique!

[@JourneysByNarrowboat]

Hi, thank you. Yeah, knock the air bubbles out and flatten the paint, encouraging it to lay flat.

[@NarrowboatNatterings]

@@JourneysByNarrowboat like it.

Next time you do a paint job tell your brush man to flip the brush with each stroke this stops build up of paint on one side of the brush and gives a better finish

Great video what paint were you using specially top coat. Thanks

[@JourneysByNarrowboat]

Hi, thank you. We used craftmaster paints

[@uncleboob]

Great video, really useful. Could I ask, at what point do you remove the masking tape?

[@JourneysByNarrowboat]

Thank you. The tape comes off once the paint is tacky.

[@uncleboob]

@@JourneysByNarrowboat did you take it off each time you painted each layer?

[@JourneysByNarrowboat]

@@uncleboob Yes, if the paint drys on the tape it can lift paint of the new surface. Also its a so and so to remove if it rains.

[@uncleboob]

@@JourneysByNarrowboat much appreciated j

[@neildee9834]
