Finish coat of paint

Almost ready for the water

I brushed on Epifanes yacht enamel #16 red.  This is the greatest paint.  With a quality brush, it really flows out nicely.  We debated for a long time what color to paint the canoe.  I'm pretty sure the original color was green, but there was red paint on the trim. In places there were layers of red and green.  Looking at other canoes, the green ones faded into the landscape and brighter colors stood out more.  I've always liked red cars, red bikes and now I really love this red canoe.
