Thanks guys, I am 63 going on 40. I spent the day filling holes and sanding down my boat. I'm preping it for a total exterior renovation. I have been able to take advantage of the good weather we have been having so I have a really good start on the upper deck and thanks to Tim donating the use of his shop for a few days I might be able to finish the deck this winter sometime. I am elimating some of the hardware and replacing the windshield with a Skagit windshield frame and new plexiglass. The horn is probably going to be replaced with a double trummpet style. I have taken all the tomato red stiping off and the color will remain green and white. I was concidering making the deck and cuddy kelly green with the traditional 57 Skag. swoop kelly green also with the rest of the haul staying dark green but I'm thinking that might be to bright so I think Interlux sea green and white will be it. I don't want to get to flashy. Any suggestions before I paint will be appreciated.
Thanks again for the happy birthday.

Greg, Since you asked, If it were my boat...again, i would start from top to bottom with the your Green canvas you already have ,White cabin top , Kelly Green side walls ( around the cabin windows and all you would have to do is sand down the white to see the trim outline from before), White deck, your black rubrail and with Kelly Green traditional 57 Skagit swoop on the side of the hull and your Sea Green. All of the paint would be Interlux Brightside except for the Kelly Green from Pettit. So it would be Green Canvas-White-Kelly Green-White-Kelly Green swoop-Sea Green hull. I think it would look sharp ! Remember you did asked. Chuck

Thanks Chuck, As we discussed previously that is a possibility since the recent development of frog tape and others that leave a cleaner line between colors with very little bleeding. I could tape over those lines if I had too but I'm trying to stay away from that if I can. I can try it and if I don't like it I can re-do it. I've got lots of time.
