But, in actuality, I doubt anyone knows for sure unless one of our insiders is a CBR enthusiast who checks with their sources about such things.

Ummm haha. Who knows! But I’m seriously curious if it’s primer or paint
I doubt it's primer. Metal roofs are usually factory finished, where it's much easier to control quality, and less of a hassle than painting in place.
Most of the metal roofs are the same as before, so it could be primer if they were painting over the old colour. Instead, it looks like they've replaced the roofing, you can see the strips of water barrier across the roof at the bottom of the photo where the metal roof has been removed.

Photo update as of Tuesday, July 31, 2018. Painting the new poolside bar and lounge.
The exterior of the original Old Port Royale building is largely the same. Final painting is underway. The roof for the tower is not finished.

Named after Sebastian Cabot who played Mr. French on Family Affair?

Was just thinking again, didn’t we hear that CBR would have a bus take Guests to Skyliner station? If you were to walk towards it, you’d be crossing the main entrance. I’m fine crossing roads, but I’d think the roads would be backed up from the steady stream, or trickle, of Guests headed to the station.
I’d think many in Aruba and Martinique would prefer to use the Riviera station.

LOL at them thinking they need to attach a character to the restaurant. I guess maybe it will ultimately draw more guests (Shutters? Where's that? Sebastian's? Oh over at Caribbean Beach ... I'm sure that's how they view it, sadly). I don't really hate it but it seems they think they need a character attached to everything. I'm sure they wished "Ariel's Grotto" wasn't taken ...

I know I have recently seen a picture of concept artwork on one of the skyliner stations posted on one of the blogs that shows a bus station (simple loop / turn around, with a bus shown). Of course, now I can't find the link to the blog or the image. That would seem to indicate that they are planning on having a bus stop of some form at the main CBR station.
I will keep looking for it.
I don't think Disney has made any sort of formal announcement or statement about bus service within CBR for the skyliner, but it makes sense.
EDIT: Found the blog.

(Admin, if links to this blog are not allowed, please let me know and I will pull or maybe a board member can go take the pics so we have clean ones.)
Look about halfway down.

Photo update as of Monday, August 13, 2013. The view of new Port Royale buildings near the resort's main pool (on the right). The final roof has yet to be installed on the center tower.
A side view of the new Porte Cochere at the resort main building. It appears a smaller structure is being built in the right foreground.
On the opposite side of the Caribbean Beach Resort property, the new road entrance has a decorative "fence" installed on top of the walls.

I like this. In an era where they seem to be removing as many "Disney Touches" as possible, it's nice to see something added. Now if only they would add a Little Mermaid character meal...

ALSO wondering if the CBR marina will reopen to give CBR and Deluxe Riviera Guests the option to boat.
Barefoot Bay is large and beautiful for a boat ride.

Certainly not in the parks where every attraction needs an IP attached to it.

Or if not motorized boats maybe some paddle boats

yep, to me a "Disney touch" doesn't mean adding a character. It means a well themed area such as Adventureland or Frontierland.
