Bayview that would be flat black like on a workboat.
Re the black I think it's a fad. It's vogue. Cool people zero in on black. Here at Starbucks where there's a lot of people that think the're way cool .. some men and even women are wearing black. Like the're on their way to a funeral. Many head to toe .. black. Black car, black boats .... I just bought an electric heater .. black. Should be grey or tan. The new black heater looks awful w the dust so visable. Everybody thinks black is cool and one must be cool .. one must!
Matt paint her black and I'm sure w you doing the painting it will be dazzling. Just stunning. That is if your favorite filler is perfect. HaHa

Plenty of boat owners over this part of the country would disagree.
Delamination problems, print through of glass weave and large bubbles are evident on dark coloured boats over here even though high temp resins both vinyl ester and post cured epoxy Ave been used.
Big money builds some of them as well, several million dollars cost for some but owners know best and boat builders know nothing apparently.

Well, we have been waiting for an update. 2/6/2016 "With the rain that's coming I'll now work back under the tarps and continue with the hull flare. Cheers."
Hope all is well and it stopped raining:-)

Matt has just completed the fairing of the hull and topsides. Hopefully primer before the weather turns.

Hi Mate.
I've had a bit of a privacy scare so I had to delete Facebook and stop posting updates on the forums including pictures till I can find the source.
PM me your email and I'll send you updates and pics that way if you like.
Cheers mate
