Matt...
What application technique
And, will different boat sections require a different technique?
Also, how many coats and what brand paints
She's getting closer all the time! What a pretty gal!!!

Greetings,
Mr. H. You're doing a marvelous job BUT the words; boat and finished, should never be used together.

Mate everything will be sprayed. I’ll be using a devilbiss compact gun with a 1.3 Cap Needle and Nozzle on a 10ltr pressure pot.
The technique is the same; 1 light dust coat, wait 20mins for it to flash off, spray a medium coat, wait 30mins to flash off spray another coat and see what the coverage is like and possibly spray another coat.
The hull will be done first up to the gunwhales on day one then the following day from the gunwhales up to completion.
I’ll be using Jotun Hardtop ultra (polyurethane) on top of the Jotun Pengard HB Epoxy primer.
Hahaha yeah I’ve had to learn how to compromise and learn how to say enough is enough.
Not sure yet. I was all for it but I’ve found some other product that I’m impressed with more than KG.
WOW - You've got it programed! Thanks for letting me/us-all know more about your artistry.
Only thing I can say... is... wouldn't it be more sanitary to do from top down so mist-gravity wouldn't mess up what's below it? Just a thought - you're the pro... something I'm not when it comes to painting application such as you mention.
Can hardly wait to see your painted creation!!

Yeah I hear ya brother but I’m spraying across 2 days so 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other whether I mask up the bow first or the superstructure first. I’m spraying outside so overspray won’t be as controlled as is would be in a booth ;-)

Geeeezzzz, Mate you always have the coolest tools. Tig/MiG welding with fresh air hoods!!
Just amazing.
Just amazing.
Lol that set up isn’t mine unfortunately. I borrowed it from one of the welders my boss uses. It’s costing me a fishing trip on the boat once she’s done. Was a nice unit to use.
You're gonna have plenty of mates to chose from for any type assistance during Solstice's first months of water operations. What a great swap-n'-trade for tools etc as you build... "A day fishing"!

Yeah trade where you can mate. I’ve done work on peoples boats for fishing trips etc. I did one last week for a mate. He needed some fibreglass work on his transom so we worked out a scuba diving deal. I haven’t been diving in ages so worked out well.
Matt me mate!
Word "final" holds similar scope and breadth to the terms/words "all", "never" and "forever". "Final" can be a good-fun thing, a feeling of relief, or possiably bring sadness... maybe even joy. Such a mobile context of various emotions does the term/word "final" successfully and singularly enable a person to emote.
In this case... if I may say so... in your case... in the context of your "final sanding" and paint prep I conjecture the emoted, gleeful meaning of "final" makes you want to have a big fn' assed party!
Get It On - Bro!!!
