If ever a Klein was in need of a refurb...!

Thanks for all the compliments, really looking forward to completing this now! I just hope I don't mess the remaining stages up as I'm in unknown territory from here on in with the sponges and varnish. Hopefully the effect of the varnish will be twofold - to help smooth off the texture of the sponged paint and also to protect the colour from UV.

I'm going to have to add a funny boat name now aren't I?

I think the one I've seen that made me laugh most was 'She Got the House'!

@PhillB has replicated the amazing GT Midnight Aurora colourway, so maybe you could borrow HIS magic sponge?!*

My magic sponge was simply a piece of natural sponge that I bought in an art shop :) Can't wait to see the next stage (good luck!)

Decals went on fine over the top by the way.

Perhaps unsurprisingly this is taking me way longer than planned but work's calmed down a bit and I've finally got the base layer topcoat finished. I've also added and Exotic aluminium fork which will get Pace RC31 V-brake bosses fitted. Next stage will be to add the sponged elements - will try and mimic the Rainforest scheme as closely as possible, the only difference being a more muted colour palette...

I love the color.
It reminds me of a classic Land Rover made by Santana.
