Custom/Hybrid Trinity Composites X2 / Paint Process

[yamaslut]

I am painting Rizk's X2 for him.... It will be champagne pearl w/ a charcoal/white bottom using Chroma Base and Chroma Clear w/ pearl in the clear coat to give it some flipity flop.... I have the bottom already painted white and getting ready to do the charcoal on the bottom sides.

I'm gonna finish the bottom first so I don't have to flip it again. I'll just clear it today after the color and flip it tomorrow after the clear is dry...

nice.. cant wait to see the top with the pearl..
I remember how good that Green came out.. :shocked:

 

[yamaslut]

yeah... it should have some good shine to it...

next step:

• painted bottom bright white
• waited 45 min
• taped off the bottom and sprayed the sides charcoal metallic...

Nice! Great pics man. Very helpful IMO. I have to paint a Envy someday and I want to do it right.

damn! looks good Nick!

 

[yamaslut]

btw - that was 3 heavy coats of Dupont Chroma Clear.... I like try to layer up the bottom good and heavy to withstand the abuse..

Not as easy as you and alex and others make it look.

I have beef with a rattle can... LOL

let alone spraying nice like that.

 

[yamaslut]

thanks...

to be fair, I did paint for a living for 5 years or so... that was back in the 90's though... It's something you don't forget once you pick it up.

It definately shows. the topdeck should look killer

 

[yamaslut]

yeah... I recommend DuPont Chroma Systems to anyone... it really goes on smooth and the colors are real vibrant. All the paint, primer and everything to do about 2 skis costs about $700.00 which is not bad.



mind you that is not paying the painter.... he he he..

:nono:
