I finished the third and final coat of Interlux Perfection this afternoon and I'm pretty pleased with how things turned out. I decided to keep the final coat high gloss because the KiwiGrip will be a non-gloss finish, and I just really liked that shiny look on the cabin top sides. Of course I still have the whole cockpit to contend with but I'll take whatever victory I can. Now I need 72 hours of cure time on the cabin top and decks before I can start on the KiwiGrip. I really want to just plow through the KiwiGrip, but I don't want to risk pulling up the pretty shiny paint when taping for the non-skid.
I think I still have enough time left in the season to get all the KiwiGrip completed before the weather turns too cold, but we'll see. If I have time this week, I'll get the 2 lazarette hatches and the companionway hatch sanded, primed, and ready for the first coat of Perfection while I wait.
