I have been concerned about dislodging the faux stanchions so will install the main rail before doing any planking other than the waterways which were placed three wide foreships and just one between/under the after stanchions. Otherwise the problem that I know is coming is where my scupper holes in the raised afterdeck section cut through where the coved accent stripe is. I will probably fill in my coved accent, sand it smooth, and later mask and paint the stripe higher than where the details/elevations show it placed. Continuous width for that masking may be a chore if I don't use a center guide masking tape to be removed after placing the masking above and below. . . or if I recall you painted the general area yellow and masked that over to then paint the black sides. Is that correct? Thanks for your experiences. Rich (PT-2)
