Sailboat Refinishing/Отделка парусника

Книга на английском языке

Exposure to the wondrous powers of paint began for most of us with a yellow and green box of crayons. More recent experience is likely to involve rollers and walls. Almost everyone has some painting experience. Whether your training is extensive or limited, if you select the right product and take a deliberate and careful approach to applying it to your boat, you are almost certain to be happy with the results.
