Re: [bolger] Egg shell green-Bunny R./Kirby's paints "green-grey"

Hi Rick,

Thanks for that.

'ol Kirby's paints, Yes the "green grey" is just about spot on for the Lobsterboat's hull colour, as long as its gloss!!

I'm not sure if we can get Kirby's paints here in Austalia, I hope so, but that green-grey colours what I'm after(at the moment!)

George's paint is good stuff. My Michalak "Birdwatcher" type sailboat is painted with Kirby's "Green Gray" and just today I put the first coat of "Dark Blue" on my new Teal.

Here's a link to his online color chart, although the computer screen doesn't do it justice. It's worth the call to get one of George's color charts to hang in your boatshop...

In addition to "Green Gray" and "Dark Blue" I've also seen his "Bottle Green" and "Blind Green" on hulls.. all are stunning colors...

Hi I've just uploaded a few pictures in the Folder "Tyson's next
project-a Bunny R Lobster boat" in the Files section of Bolger4

:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger4/files/

I picture is part of a WB article on Bolgers designs with a profile
of Bunny-R where I've coloured the hull light grey.

1 picture is of a 34' Nexus marine power cruiser, painted the colour
scheme that I think would look good on the LObsterboat.

There's also a small picture of a Pale Blue Lobsterboat which looks
like it could be Bolger's 32' version- enlargement of Bunny R.

The two others are a 28' x10' lobsterboat similar to Bunny R, but
possibly a planing type hull given the spray strakes added. I
included these two pics so people could see the approximate size of
the "Bunny R" lobsterboat we're currently building.
