Hi Marty,

Your paint job is coming out great! Dauntless looks awesome in black!! You are on key with the top decks. As i wrote in my last post, grey paint is slightly present on the side of the cabins, but is separated from white by the moulding. Remembering back when you built Dauntless, Dumas instructed us to add a 1/8" moulding onto the sides of the bridgedeck that went around the perimeter of that area. Looking carefully at the black & white photo, you will see that depth (1/8" ) is grey and continues around the front of the main cabin. It kind of tricks your eye from a distance and makes the top appear more curved. The grey band is easy to spot on the side gate just above the moulding. The same depth seems apparent for the aft cabin. The forward cabin has the same thing going on but seems to be a little less than 1/8".



Keep us posted on your progress!
