OK I have to cheat to post a reply. I forgot my password and the site doesn't seem to be able to send it to me.
Now about repainting the mast. I'm just about finished with this job. It's a big job. If your fittings were as corroded as mine the hardest part is removing all (yes all) of the hardware. I used a Makita sander/polisher with 8" 80 grit disks to remove the previous epoxy. For coatings I went with Interlux and brushed everything on (vinylux primewash, epoxy undercoat, and Interthane Plus as described in their guides.) I think when its done it's going to look great.
It would takeabout ten pages to relate the entire task and I don't like to type that much. So if you have questions, give me a call.
