Woolly Bully Restoration - Painting the Head

Coat on, coat off.  Finished priming the walls and cabinets this weekend.  Was hoping to get a first coat of Brightside over it too but got distracted with other projects.  Rolling worked well.  I still think spraying would cover better in the nooks and crannies but I'm too lazy to tape everything from the oversray.  Below is 1 coat of Epoxy Primekote on the walls/cabinet and 5 coats of Interprotect 2000e in the bilge.  


Next up is plumbing, cabinet face, toilet pedestal, and floorboard(s).  I still need to mount backing boards for the y valve and macerator.  Oops, should have done that before priming.  I'm waiting until the new holding tank arrives to fix the final location.  Tank will go just on the other side of the two holes on the left.  The clamps are holding the counter under-laminate which was popping loose.

I'm still undecided about the design for the pedestal and floorboards.  I'm debating between Coosa (expensive but will last forever) and marine ply.  You can just see the mid support in the photo above.  Below is the old board to use as a template.
