Biting Bullets after tough decisions

[claymore]

Decided to take advantage of the year out and paint the grey bits which are looking a bit tired and do a bit of flexiteeking.

The problem is that if I do paint the decks, I would prefer them to be a sort of off-white/creamy colour.

Wid tha' clash wi yon GREY spinnaker?

You could have a point there. Not sure that cream would go well with that odd shade of green;

Hm. I don't much like the notion of painted decks. I think you wd be far better off using two-part GRP restorer, like that stuff from wessex chemicl factors, and which makes the GRP look brand spanky new.

Colourwise, i think all will be fine, regardless.

Hmm
Well, Ive polished the fibreglass so much I think the pigment is wearing a little thin - it also goes very flat quite quickly - it would save a hell of a job if I didn't need to paint it but the grey does look quite "60's" - especially on the odd dull day.
Dilemma

Cobblers. Polish just seals the oxidised cack that is there already. The wessex gear is highly recommended. Tell swmbo you need to spend £100 on a decent stripper.

Again I find myself humbled by you inate ability to succinctly resolve issues and offer solutions

Indebted as ever

"Wid tha' clash wi yon GREY spinnaker?"

Ahhh

So you decided to replace the green one

Very wise

Just a wee something I'd like to point out re Shard's photo above.
Me and Jim on the foredeck. Tcm aft. Muzzy at the helm.
Where's the skipper?

Have you thought of running Claymore ashore at high tide near Fleetwood beach to do the antifouling?

Apparently you can leave it there for a while...

Why not just be done with it and go for a nice warm cream colour - would be chust the very job. In fact, you could have a word with the boys on Her Maj's auxiliary ships - aren't her tugs cream? Mind you, are they still looking for the consignment of battleship grey?

Last heard of on the Navy Lark....I'll take a can if there's any left, CPO Pertwee.
