This is not a statistical possibility since all SBT engines are rebuilds of OEM engines, thank about that one for a minute.

As stupid as this is going to sound if you don't mind doing base and clear Duplicolor spray cans work pretty well, I have done a few Seadoo hoods with the Duplicolor in the small cans , it is Lacquer paint but it goes on really well , dries quickly and if you put a good clear such as Spraymax on...

Their primers are top notch as well

it could yes

SENOR (your rod she is ) BROKEN TOUGH (break muchaco)

The bulldog is a bonding clear, plastics like this are very hard to paint because it does not stick, it creates a barrier between the plastic and the primer, the bulldog sticks to the plastic, the primer sticks to the bulldog. The bulldog is not UV stable and is not used for a finish coat. Its '...

Also my suggestion if you want to start painting is to stick with solid colors and I would suggest direct gloss or single stage as it is known in the business, these paints do not require clear coat , also white is the hardest color there is to shoot, I know it's the color I learned on, white...

Anyone who has ever actually been to SBT in person has a much better understanding of what's going on there. Yeah they advertise as being the worlds largest blah blah blah, I drove down with a load of cores a few years back, I literally missed the place, drove right by it , it's tiny, the...

When I first started painting we were using Sherwin Williams Automotive paints, that stuff was absolute crap , even spraying with a turbine system all you could do was mist the paint on, if it ran it bubbled up and you couldn't sand it out. We were mostly painting white on Yamahas as we did all...

Its not painted yet just primed., I have to swing by and get reducer and hardener for the Deltron DBC then I can paint it. I am going with a deeper metallic red base-clear that kinda matches the stock decals

Right stuff silicone , it is very heavy body , it stays put and it dries in about 30 minutes any automotive store will have it

I have been asked paint questions on here quite a few times, while I am not a professional painter (I don't do it for a living everyday) I do still paint skis from time to time and I was employed at several Boat dealers where I did all the FRP, gelcoat and paint repairs. So follow along I will...

The guy putting the 787 in the X2 is me, it's a big bag of snakes but when I am done it will be very fast and damn near bulletproff, 787's are very stout 110 HP engines stock and they take mods REALLY well. I also had a 720 in an X2, also very fast but the engine bed plate hits the bottom of the...

A few years back, I am working up at my place and it starts raining cats and dogs, a guy comes buy and tells me he has had a ski shipped in from Cali to Real Island Marina on Lake Martin, it's a Dave Gordon world finals ski , it has totall loss and has no spark , the guys at Real Island don't...

I prefer the FX1's handling over the Superjet for sure, one of the most ridiculous skis I have ridden was a Dave Gordon worlds finals Westcoast ski, I have no idea what trickery was done to the engine, I do know it had every bell and whistle that Westcoast had plus massive porting and total...

No idea how much work is involved I know I have ridden one it it was a huge difference

Regretably the FX1 has the same problem the 550 does, the pump sucks, an FX1 with a 144 pump swap is a very nice ride.

Yes they are fun skis if you weight 150-180 lbs if you are over that not so much, I had a ported 550 reed with a Coffman halfpipe and dual 42 kehins, a Westcoast intake, PJS pistons Westcoast dual total loss system, it did run really well but it sure as hell does not run like the ported 650 I...

I am going to be honest here, I had one of the first 550 reed engines in the states, I had it for years, great engine but I fail to understand the CURRENT craze going on right now, they were great but they were not that great.
