I get the base color spray paint that has primer in it and it covers pretty quickly. I love when I come to paint and the previous painting is a light color.

2. I always take a picture of the previous painting and send it to @thefollyboat on Instagram. I know it's hard work to paint the boat so I want to be sure a picture exists of it in case that person didn't snap one.

3. Don't litter! Pick up any litter that you see. Respect the fact that you are IN our marsh.
