Painting and footholds

Ok here's the deal...this is basically my first ski and I would like to keep it for a couple more years. And it is really ugly and I would like to do some flat water tricks such as dives and such. So I would like to install footholds.

Anyway, there is the stock white paint all over the ski and some has peeled off. In order to paint it with a sprayer (not rattle can) would I have to remove all of the paint from the whole ski? And what would I cover the bottom with?


Ok, next foodholds. I would like to install them this winter but I have never worked with fiberglass in my life. My brother has refloored out ski boat with fiberglass and he could help. How hard is it? Basically I need some confidence? And is it possible to do this during winter? (50 degrees or so)

I don't want to work on my ski when I should be riding it...which is completely understandable. lol.

I'm not trying to start a pissing match between Yamaha's and Kawasakis. I personally am glad that there are more than one manufacturer to produce standups. Also, I do plan on buying a SJ next year.

Thanks:bananapowerslide:

If you plan on buying a different ski next year, I would do minimal work to it. The white gelcoat still looks to be in decent shape. Get a cheap set of footholds and some B stock hydroturf and leave the rest alone.

To be totally honest though, that 750 is in really good condition and no where near as ugly as most that are completely stock.
