This ski was a mess when I started. I had a quote from one of the pro painters on the site for $1200. That's how bad it was. It turned out good but not nearly as good as the pro would have done. I have a new seat and some stickers on the way. It should look good when it is all done.
Those dogs Love that pool.

Looks great Clint, I bet the next one will be easier. What kind of paint did you go with?

I used a urethane single stage paint. The paint was BASF Limco. I learned a lot about painting and I do think my next one will be a lot easier and come out better. I am hoping to be on the waves with it by Sunday or Monday.

It does feel good to do your own work. I think it makes the ski more important to you.
I did have some major problems at first. I set up a paint booth in my garage with plastic. I put wood over my garage door tracks to expand the size of the plastic room. After I got two coats of paint on it the wood fell off, came down on the ski, put about 10 or so chips and scratches in the hull, then came down on the hood and knock it top side down on the ground. I had to completely start over.
Two things I learned are make sure nothing is going to fall on your paint and make sure you have plenty of room to move around in the paint booth. I know the first one sounds stupid but I never thought the wood would fall.
