I recovered my chin pad, got some new bars, primer kit installed and a new work grate. All that is left of the turf

I thought I would post a follow up since I finally got around to putting the decals on this old girl. I am very happy with how it turned out, but I think I want another project for next summer

Thanks, yeah the decals were a little tricky, but not too bad if you take your time. Not perfect but it looks wayyyyy better than what I started with.
Here is the paint I used. It was basically the cheapest single stage urethane I could find locally. The primer was pretty poopty and would probably use something else next time.

Thanks. Did it come out that shiny? Or did you buff/polish it or something... reason I'm asking is cause I'm gonna be painting mine soon.

It comes out very shiny, some people may elect to let it cure, wet sand it and then buff it out. However this is not really a show ski, lol. There are some very light imperfections, but white is the most forgiving color to paint, which is also why I choose it. I used a high end HVLP gun system, but you can get similar results with a $30 harbor freight gun. I am also no pro. I have only spayed a couple cars, motorcycles and boats.
