Is this your first paint job on a ski?, I'm really considering trying to paint mine, but I have no experience, yours looks really nice in pics but probably looks way better in person.

love it.
can you explain what coats you used and in what order?
i.e. what primer, what base, what flake, what clear, etc.

My buddy who has a shop here in Houston let me come in and use his booth; outside of helping with the sanding and priming, I took a stab at it during the clearing process, which is when you spray the flake, but it was predominantely him. Thanks for the compliment.
1) Sanded
2) primed
3) mercedes gloss black base (paint code - 040)
4) Cleared w/ flake
3 coats of clear:
4 parts clear to 1 part hardener with
HOK Kustom Shop Intense Red Holographic flake - 2oz Standard (8 parts) http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/kusf39.aspx
HOK Kustom Shop Chrome Silver flake - 1/4oz Micro (1 part) http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/kusf1.aspx
Sorry i dont have the specifics on the brand of clear and primer, my memory fails me

I like the color. Was it hard to shoot the flakes on?

i wanted to get this: View attachment 171898 which is awesome for shooting flake
but we used a regular old paint gun instead lol it clogged the hell out of it.

ya no way would i shoot flake like that through the Satajet 3000 I have...
hmmm i am wondering if shooting HOK Tangelo Pearl, or using Tangelo Flake and clearing would be a better way to go...

Looks sweet dude... Im getting ready to shoot my SN top deck H.O.K. candy brandywine, and the bottom Toyota Tundra black pearl.. but that flake looks sick!! good job
I like the bass boat look. I've sprayed a few cars w/ flake, but not as heavy. I like to mix it into the balancer/binder vs. in the clear, it allows the flake to "stand" vs. it all laying down, so it has a lot of sparkle from different angles. HOK paint rocks! It's inexpensive and sprays easy. Sweet ski!

You can use a regular Satajet to spray flake... thats what I've used for years. Trick is not to fill your cup to the top so you can continuously "swirl" the mixture in the gun to prevent the flakes from settling, then dump the mixture out and lay your gun on its side between coats.
As far as mixing the flake in the binder or "clear basecoat" (PPG DBC 500 color blender)... I would strongly advise against this method on a ski. I have used this method in the past and although it is MUCH easier, it brings a hole new world of adhesion issues to the table. Objects that are NOT used and abused take to this method well, but not skis. Get one little scratch and the force of the water will peel that paint job like a potato!!! Trust me...
BTW JP- The ski looks KILLER!!! Nice job.

I hate painting skis but I used their stuff on my last ski. Awesome product and very friendly people to deal with IMO.
SoulMan turned me on to them...He used it for his ski...It's a great work of art...He put many, many hours into 'son of gus'
I just picked up another ski and will probably change the color but I am leaning towards a tinted gel coat from Valspar although I don't know much about gelcoats...trying to learn though...
The paint is good stuff though...Worth the price for the quality
