Preparation for spray painting a boat hull requires extensive sanding, masking, and equipment sourcing, particularly when working outdoors in the Caribbean. After repairing hurricane damage, the hull was sanded with 180-grit and 320-grit paper to ensure a smooth surface, using sunlight to identify remaining shiny spots that required further abrasion.0:29 The process involved masking windows, cleats, and neighboring vessels with plastic sheeting and 3M Scotch Blue tape to prevent overspray.3:12 Because local electricity was unavailable, a high-capacity generator and compressor were required to maintain consistent air pressure for the spray gun.3:29 The team applied Awlgrip Oyster White paint in two layers, waiting approximately 30 minutes between coats to allow for drying in the tropical heat.13:19 The work was constrained by a narrow three-day dry weather window to avoid rain, which can trap moisture under plastic and ruin the finish.0:48
