the colors are a little off in the pics... plus flo lights change the color some too... I'll shoot some outside pics tomorrow.

don't worry Gary, that purple is not that light in person.

I like it! I think you’ll like it…it takes on “different colors” in various light well. I’m interested to see what you do with graphics. I never did any, because I wanted it simple as you mentioned you desired.

it won't die back... only thing that would cause clouding is humidity and that is not an issue this time of year or that late in the day. now if I painted it around 5am or in the rain there may be a problem... he he

Looks like it's time for me to get working on these motors ... and these pictures just reminded me, I think I'm going to need some new gas caps.

Can't wait to see them outside in the sunlight to see how the flake/metallic really turned out ...

You have no idea how envious I am of you having a booth to paint in. That is the single hardest thing for me when I paint - finding somewhere to paint. I don't have access to a booth!

Skis look great, I can't wait to see what they look like all done, stickered and turfed.

Watercraft Factory ... a few years old. Bought it a few years back thinking I'd get to paint quicker, so it has been sitting a while.

Thanks. I was asking because I used to have an identical looking hood, but Steve always said it wasn't his.

Yeah, I don't know ... I ordered WAAAAYYYY back when he was first getting started, and it's been sitting for probably 3 years or so. When I said it took longer to get to paint than expected, I wasn't kidding. :banghead:
