Painting the hull?
I have all the fillers, primers and paints picked, but I was wondering about the technique to spray the bottom. The boat is currently off the trailer, on blocks and boat stands and it is all sitting on concrete. Can I safely tip the whole boat enough to one side to do it one side at a time? Anybody done this or have any good ideas. It was stable on just the two rear stands as I was pulling the boat off the trailer, but not sure, about how well the front two would do. It is the hull of an 89 Scarab 28' Excel, (Engine and transom are out)

I put mine up on my trim tabs in the back and then a block up towards the bow. Just had a small blend spot to do later by moving the block.

if you do 1 side at a time, there will be a tape or blend line right down the middle of the boat. may not work out so well. may also increase the chances of peeling.
best way would be to flip boat onto deck. youll also be able to sand out an imperfections in the bottom much more accurately.
