primed this morning, wet sanding the hull right now and getting ready for sealer, paint, clear

• white sealer as a good solid background for the basecoat. You don't want to paint a light colored metallic basecoat over anything but white if you want the color to show properly...
• then I painted the color which is "Champagne Fizz" OMG... this color is amazing!!!
• After that mix 2 TBS of Green pearl into 1 quart of clear and lay 2 good coats on the ski
• when that is tacky spray one more heavy coat of clear w/o the pearl in it to protect the pearl...

walla, you have a paintjob...

clear pics to come after it is less toxic in the booth...
