Picked up last week and some today all the tools I need to get a coat of Kirbys paint with wog recipe on the transom.
The paint flowed/rolled pretty well and I am happy with it. Still tacky so some more tomorrow before it all changes again. I also bout a temp and humidity gauge. So today is showing currently; 50percent humidity and @ 84 degrees. Local weather is showing 72 hum. and 75 temp. 1st coat.

Yea I know Larry...they ran out of PINK. Kirby said it would be a "Special" blend. Mostly NJ people buy it.
I like it cause then I can put the green Irish gold over it and let it stand out with that background. I intend to accent the hatch lids witht the same color but not overwhelm the basic white or putty I end up with. The color I have now on the boat is putty-ish and to me that color is dated. So let's see wheere I end up going. Just moving along.
In regards to the paint so far with @wogs recipe;
-2 coats consisted of 1 cup mixed.
-Rolls on great with coverage
-sands out nice with 220 grit wet and dry.
-Not a single bubble issue on any roll.
-Have not needed to tip at all. I bought a good brush but can work out the wrinkles with the roller.
-Every coat had a new pan and a new roller. Foam
Seriously... Thanks. This paint has so far exceeded my expectations.

2nd Coat;

Here's a breakdown of wog measurements you can use for like a CUP.

Color reference; Kirby High Gloss Salmon. I don't think I mentioned the color. Darn happy with it.

Looks kinda like Coast Guard orange....you'll have everyone tossing their beers when you come by

 

[kcassells]

Well as long as they end up in my boat I'm ok with that.
I really like Lobster so my wife says it looks like a lobster shell. Anytime someone says ...hey whats for dinner ...I say Lobster.
I think the color works fine for me. Not so orange in the light.

He suggested to me to take a break. ​​​​​​​

 

[kcassells]

Shots of 3rd and 4th coat. Try to stay awake. :sleeping: Maybe a couple more coats. Like the sheen.

 

[zool]

Youre done, too much and you passed the point of diminishing returns....I bet the tech sheet from Kirby states 2-3 coats or a specific mil thickness.

Lookin Good!

 

[kcassells]

Thanks Larry,
You are absolutely right. I needed that kick in the ass.
Kevin

 

[zool]

So now the rest of the outer hull will be the salmon? and off white for the inside?,

Wasnt really kicking, maybe just farting in your general direction
