Scarab 16 floats part 3


The floats were painted with Jotun Imperite (Homebush yellow) sprayed with a gravity gun 1.4 nozzle. 
After the paint hardened the area to be masked was marked out using masking tape. I used KiwiGrip non-skid (white). This non-skid was easy to apply and clean up (water based). The paint was applied with a spatula and brush to the desired thickness then rolled with a special textured roller. It’s the best non-skid I have used.
