PAINTING AND FINISH
Note: Painting of some parts or portions is recommended to be done before assembling or mounting of handrails.
● Large holes, such as those of small nails, etc., should be filled with toothpicks, etc., being glued in them.
● Apply #180 paper on the body of the ship and the cabin house, and apply lacquer surfacer.After the surfacer is dry, use putty to
fill holes or scratches. Repeat the work several times until the grain is no longer noticeable. Use #240 paper and finally, #400, to
prepare the surface.
● Small articles must also be painted before mounting (window frames, doors, ventilators, boats, mast and other fittings).
● Apply white paint as the final coat, and use #600 to 800 paper on the surface. Repeat the work 2 to 3 times, to finish the surface.
Glue (28) after mounting the mast guide pipe, ventilator etc. on the front deck, and the connecting area should be shaped
neatly.
● Paint red below the waterline and white above. Paint the rear side of the deck in mahogany non light.
● For other parts, refer to the color of attached drawing. Attach and paste transparent vinyl chloride plates to the window hole
(from inside) to prevent water entry.
*Except the nearby window of the boiler, burner, and 4th floor to avoid overheat.
● For small and fine parts, placolor is recommended.
