I'm really sorry the painting did not work out as intended, I for one would never dream of doing a paint job like this myself. However I want to congratulate you for having the gumption not only to attack this project but also to post your results. Hats off to you! Best of luck on the next go round!

Ouch! Sorry about how things worked out! Sure looked great at the primer point.
Thank-you so much for posting this...you're correct, a great help to all of us!

I agree with Mark. May our sympathies help drive your elbows in sanding.
Thanks for posting.

Ouch. I think I'd send the folks at Interlux those pics and ask for their input. I could see the paint not adhering well, etc., but those peeling curled strips just make me wonder if there was a materials problem..
For what it's worth I painted the little Cal 21 with the one part Brightsides over plain ole Bullseye 1-2-3 primer and was very happy with the results..
Sorry for the pain, I can feel it all the way down here at my house...

Start with the people who sold you the supplies. I worked for many years in a business that sold a great deal of paint. On occasion, a customer would come in with a post-painting issue and ask for compensation. We would get with the manufacturer and, under many circumstances, they would help the customer with some sort of refund. One time, I ended up sending a painter to a customers house to repaint her kitchen.
Anyway, sorry about the mess. That was a lot of work Raise some noise with the dealer and see where it goes. Can't hurt. Base coat looked fantastic.
Regards, Jeff

Updated progress for the re-painting. Getting closer... to starting over
The scraping will end this weekend and I will finish with a sander when it gets cool enough for a respirator.

We would all grab sand paper and scrapers and be right next to you if we could. Go get it brother!

Oh well... It gives me time to catch up on the podcasts that I otherwise cannot find time to listen to.

If you get to a point where you haved some stubborn paint that actually stuck well, see if you can find this product..

I had great success on the Cal21 using it, but I didn't use the 'marine' version. Oddly enough plain version was cheaper, and the only difference seemed to be the color of one is green and the other is blue..your mileage may of course vary..

Here's the results I got when applied liberally..
