What this video covers

The owners of a catamaran under construction apply multiple coats of white paint to the interior surfaces using a spray gun.2:51 To achieve a smooth finish, they use foam tape to blend edges, though a storm-blown plastic sheet causes a blemish in one section that requires sanding and a respray.7:58 The crew manages a 90-degree interior temperature by starting early and working in 20-minute spray intervals followed by 50-minute drying times.3:11 They also address a chigger infestation found in the foam tape roll by cleaning the surfaces with denatured alcohol before painting.9:32 After completing the white base coats, the owners test a beige accent color on a wall section to ensure it complements the white oak trim.17:11 Future tasks include painting the shower pans in the master head and port side, as well as preparing the engine beds.18:10 The project remains ongoing, with upcoming work focused on bonding the nose cones and finishing the entertainment center.19:13
