After a new Pearl Clear coat , I installed footholds last night.

you can really see the blue pearl on the dash ... looks banging in the sunlight.

Wet sand / and buff today , then the turf flies hopefully tomorrow!:Banane09:

Inside foothold to foothold is 23 in

Nice!!! Now get to wet sanding oke:

:crying: I hate sanding. I am so sick of it.

I love that pearl. I am using something similar on Orange. (And pink soon on another ski)

Is it normal to have to wetsand the clearcoat to get a good finish? Or is it just indicating that I suck at painting?

If you want it to look like glass wet sanding is a must. Its easier to get a smooth finish on a curved surface, flat areas are harder to paint. We always wet sand and buff no matter what, makes if look like we know what we are doing :sneaky:

 

[Matt_E]

Sweet, thanks for making me feel better. :biggthumpup:

What grit do you start this at, and where do you finish? (Prior to buffing)

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

do you guys wet sand w/ 1500 or higher like 2200 on the clear?

 

[suva]

1500, then straight to power buffing with meguiar's #2 fine cut cleaner then once more with #9 swirl remover.

He did the F1PRO as his very first hull design, did he not?

yep..


BK is right about the REV...the paint job makes or breaks it...that is the ENTIRE reason I left mine gel white

Hell ya, I painted one of my cars exactly like this.

Did you by any chance use House of Kolors Ice Pearl (blue) for that finish?

planning 0n 1500 first then 2000 , then buffing with 3m finesse it 3.

 

[chad]

wet sanding and buffing is done ....

most of the rails turfed, the tray looks like its going to be a challenge .

could have had it done soon if someone ordered diamond turf , instead of grooved:smashfreakB:.

 

[SKYWALKER]

Dude,Are you kidding me, its grooved turf..... dont do this to me

 

[chad]

yep yep ..

you ordered, or they sent you the wrong stuff

 

[RiverRat]

Looking sharp!!!! I am really liking the nose of that hull. That shot with Luke in it is a good angle that puts the lines into perspective.

 

[C-Rock87]

looks amazing luke, thats going to be a dream setup.
