Did a bit this morning don't know what to do about the deck!. It was wooden but painted black anti-slip so I decided to paint the wooden colour and then black and weather it so some of the wood is showing through, what do you guys think?
Also included a messy photo just to prove its not always tidy

Getting scary close to the moment of truth.

Sounds like a good plan with the deck

I'm sorry Brian that still counts as tidy by the standards of most people :rolling:

[minitnkr]

I think your thought was well thought out.

[Bri62]

Well I thought that was so messy, I had to go tidy up (couldn't relax lol)

Did you forget to add the messy photo :tongue-out:

Is it the one w/coffee cup or the one w/tools exposed?

[Bri62]

Is it the one w/coffee cup or the one w/tools exposed?

Yes the really messy one with my tools all over the place

[minitnkr]

Is this the deck befor you painted it black after the brown? Looks very brown all over in the photos I'm looking at.
I see you left the soldering iron turned on. More lights?

Dont forget the areas that will show most ware on the deck are around hatches, and the deck canon. Also to the conning tower and on the CT decks a lot of ware will be present.
What do you think of those paints you got. Any good? they look OK. (but then I am apparently colour blink... lol. )

There very nice go on lovely but clean up is not too good, the paint dries in the cup far too quick
