Small air compressor from Costco with a conventional gravity-feed gun. I had a large volume fan blowing out one of my garage windows but I did get some tiny bugs in the clearcoat.
I don't personally like paint schemes.
Blowsion does very impressive work but I would never want one of their paint schemes on my boat. It's just not for me; I like more of a stock look to the ski.
I initially wanted the factory 2003 decal set for my ski but I found out that the decals...

Get some footholds, some zero degree bars, and a wet pipe and get to rolling it.
Team Ramrod,
I love love love my SXR. I really love how it carves, how it brutes through chop and how you can do a throttle-pinned left hand turn without killing yourself.
That being stated, add a SuperJet to your stable.:woot:
