x-otic paints base coat. PPG DC-3000 for the Clear No flex additive. Thanks guys No more painting for a while. I have spent all day packing camera gear, leave tomorrow evening for Pismo.

The colors were put on with a cheap Husky paint gun and a compressor. I used an Iwata HP-C for the airbrushed stuff. The clear was layed on with a Accuspray HVLP. It all adds up real fast... I suppose it all depends on what your expectations for the final piece are.

three more shots She's got a nose, my bad lighting+the flash on the camera are bleach out the face.

Just put the clear on Sunday night. Done with painting until the video project is finished. Hopefully he'll dig it and wear it in Pismo. 661 Pro Bravo Carbon, I sanded a bunch of the original graphics off so the carbon could show through.

She looks GREAT man!!

I think we could make it happen Pete. As soon as the video project is wrapped up I would love to sit down and come up with something really sexy. So many projects so little time...

norcal ex may want to use it also. It's available to anyone if everyone who uses it can take part keeping it running/working for the weekend.

Pete, My ski will be there, ride it if you want. I don't know if the other person will need it or not. I saw some talk about her putting in footwells in Havasu or something... dunno. Anyway it'll be there, you can ride it, she can ride it, I don't care. If someone else steps up then cool...

That paint has got nothing on the other boat Johnny did for you. It's sexy, but I REALLY like the one stuck in customs. So cool that they banged this on out for Pismo! Blowsion is really stepping up and pushing this sport in the right direction. Congrats Ross, see you in a couple of weeks...

Yeah, he plans on putting an Octane engine in there.

This was mentioned in the IFWA Pismo Comp thread already, but I have been wanting to post a thread on what we plan to do down there so people have an idea of what we are trying to accomplish. Our goal is to produce a DVD that is very entertaining and brings the event into your home, but...

Just for the record the handlepole IS NOT aftermarket. It's a stock pole from a roundnose that has been shortened about 1 1/2 inches and reinforced. I just don't want anyone thinking they are getting an X-Metal or AC pole or something. Here's the original thread with pictures...

I always have a plan, I NEVER just make it up while I go. This one happened to be done on the computer because of the XFT paint scheme comp. Usually I just take some colored pencils and colored sharpies and draw out the designs on a photocopied template of the ski or hemet. (If you look in...

The pictures without any explaination were really hard to decipher. But I did find that if I crossed my eyes I could see shapes of dolphins swimming in space pop out. So cool that you didn't get rid of that toy, it has come in pretty handy.

That will always be the hardest question for me to answer, and the answer seems to change depending on what's happening in my life and how bad I need cash. The paint job cost me about $300 and about 30 hours. I'd do it for someone off the street for $1000-1500. If it was a street bike or...

Thanks guys. I was super stoked to do this one, it's a scheme I have been thinking about for a while. The girl is definitely painted on.

I have definitely been keeping busy. Wait until you see Pierre's helmet, I am really happy with how it is turning out. As soon as that's done I have a HUGE project that will keep me busy throughout the winter. I'll post a thread on that in the next few days.

I'm in Washington

two more shots

These are a couple of round noses I finished a couple of months ago. Their owner originally wanted them to have the same paint job, I talked him into letting me do something that wasn't identical, but still make them look like they belong to each other. These done with Auto Air, the green...
