Jeepster575 · Feb 28, 2013

So I have a 01 sxi pro, Im looking to do something new and give it a unique look, Like a 2-3 tone paint job, or a good vinyl wrap? does any one have any good ideas or pictures of some to go off of?
Im not looking to copy, just something to base off of.
Oh and i ordered a set of EME footholds and thought i would give them a try! any tthoughts of them and color ideas for the new turf aswell?

Post pictures of your skis aswell! Its always fun showing them off......

Thanks! I think Im going to go with a silver metalic paint for the body/hull, Black pole and black diamond cut mat. I'll see how it turns out? I was supposed to have the paint mixed and ready to spray, but I ran out of some attitive at work for it. hopefully tomrrow il get it all mixed up.

I'm trying to get the ski ready by the end of this month to make a trip up to havasu and run it, so im going to be cutting it close.....

SXIPRO02 I like the way you got your ski set up, how does that thing run??

Try a heat gun and a huge eraiser, I cant think of the name of it, they sell them at carquest or auto paint places. Its bascially a huge eraiser that goes on your drill and it takes it off alot eaiser!
I got mine all preped last night to spray hopefully tomrrow il spray it and post some pictures

Thanks, It runs very well now. It pulls hard in the lows and mids and still has more top end than anyone I ride with. Its a very good all around setup. Perfect for jumping waves and chasing down boats, still a little heavy for flatwater barrel rolls but Im learning...

yea someone else mentioned that eraser to me i'll have to try one, i was using heat and razor and pretty much destroyed that gel coat with scratches making a lil extra work, silver/black will be good, u may wanna try to find a third accent color to add lil somewhere, like pearl white or something bright....on my last ski i used all solid colored paint (no metallics) and it turned it pretty nice, on this sxi i was thinking of trying all black metallic hull with lime green pole and turf

Sorry for the funky posts, My computer freezes up when i quote something.
But what mods are you running on your ski SXIPRO02? I am basically trying to do the same thing with my ski.
In theroy i figure if i can just this big B!$@& I will be able to jump a rocker ski way eaiser when i get one....But that is in alll theroy?

All i have done to this ski is add a bildge pump, primer kit, coffman chamber pipe and footholds as you can see in the pictures above. I need to finish glassing them in.

What do you think of the paint on the bottom side???
