I’m painting the hull of my WR 180 bringing the paint over onto the deck about 1". What is the best method of achieving a clean hard edge to the paint where it meets the varnished deck?
I used 3M Scotch Fine Line Tape that I purchased from a local auto body store. It was a bit expensive…I think about $12.00 for a role but there was more than enough. I painted a contrasting line on my MC16.5. This tape gives you a completely crisp edge with absolutely no bleeding. The CLC shop tip Painting Over the Deck explains the process you’re looking for.

I get the impression that the brightsides paint will be fairly thick when built up with a few coats. Will the varnish for the deck build up to the same level or will there be a step down between the paint and varnish?

You should thin the Brightsides as per directions. You’ll feel a very slight step with your fingertips.
