No Gurnard nothing to to with you at all lol , i went down to local paint shop to try and get a colour match for the blue on the boat and believe it or not out of all the blues on the dulux range not one matched,i even took the spare piece pvc from the repair kit , so after much debate picked a colour and it wasn't till i started with topcoat i had trouble, undercoat went on lovely, first time I've ever used water based or satin finish and tbh think it was the satin i didn't like as much as water base .
Anyhow hopefully work out now with some oil based paint

Hi Jake - the dodger is looking really good. Hope you're please with it after all the hard work?

Just wondered where you bought the extra Honwave decal / badge / label (or whatever it's called)?

:cheers
