Topsides taken down to bare wood, refaired and repainted spring 2005. This included rebuilding all the plank edges, as the former owner had V’ed all the seams and ”caulked” them with 3M 5200. Since this was an entirely inappropriate method of finishing, all 5200 was removed and she is now back to her original smooth sided configuration using traditional Petitt seam compound. The hull was completely faired, followed by 2 coats of primer and 4 coats of the Brightsides Seattle Gray. All prep and painting done exactly to Interlux specs.
