Ella in the paint shed


31st August 2015

Ella has been moved into the paint workshop and work has begun on her decoration.


Before paint shed
All the grey protective coating was removed from the boat and the black undercoat was applied.

In the paint shed
Once that was complete, the black paint was 'flattened' - not sure what that means but I think it is in preparation for the main colour application.

Flattened undercoat
The final coats of paint were then applied.

Mercedes Red and Black trim
Doors






The doors have been painted in Mercedes Red.








Houdini Hatch




All wood work on the roof is also Mercedes Red.
















Engine
Finally the engine has been delivered and is still under wraps until it is time to load it in to the engine bay.
