So then it came time to start painting. This picture below was taken after finishing the first coat of undercoat. This was later followed by a second undercoat and then a coat of half and half undercoat and gloss, before the final coat of gloss.

The vinyl around the windows was tackled next and went on easily with only a small amount of fitting needed at the fore and aft ends as the top and bottom edges would be covered by the deckhead lining and the shelf fronts.

The saloon headlining was done using veneered ply panels reclaimed from some internal doors we had replaced at home, with the panel joints and edges trimmed with hardwood strips.
