Sweeeeeeeeeet! A nice blend of the wood along with chrome accessories. What did you put on your brightwork and how many coats?


Thanks a lot for the positive comments. Case Boatworks did the wood finishing and rub rail. He didn't exactly tell me how he did it, but from what I gathered, there are five to eight coats of varnish, sanded with 320 between each coat, then after a full cure he sprays some proprietary blend of acrylic over for at least five coats, with 90 minute cure between coats. Finish is pretty amazing, and watertight, all holes, cuts, and screw points had to be pre planned so they could be sealed.
