What kind of paint to use to paint Blaster?CA_5North 03-22-2005, 06:07 PM What kind of paint (and where can I get it) should I use to paint my Blaster. It's currently a royal blue color and I'd like to paint it white. Any suggestions would be well appreciated. THANKS. superjet 03-22-2005, 09:34 PM Automotive paint will work just fine JoeMcLaughlin 03-22-2005, 11:03 PM Next time I go by Kosmic Kolors I will ask him:) Joe......

The two stage must be those ski's I see with the super high gloss??? Joe......... Jetskimechanic 03-23-2005, 06:14 AM Yes... We used 1 gal. of clear on the purple hull alone... Aw I miss painting... Jetgrrrrl 03-23-2005, 05:43 PM Hey Anthony- I recently asked Johnny at Blowsion (pretty much the king of Kustom PWC paint jobs) for some advice on painting my SX-R. Here is his response: Don't bother w/ any "marine" paint for refinishing your ski. Go with a Basecoat/Clearcoat Automotive urethane paint system. You should be able to access or find everything you need at any of your local automotive refinishing supply stores. FYi-(we use mainly PPG and House of Kolors, along w/ Dupont colors and some Glasurit etch primers) For custom auto graphic colors, check out: http://www.houseofkolor.com You can also check out these websites for some detailed urethane coatings info. over the net. http://www.dupont.com/coatings http://www.ppg.com I am not a huge fan of this magazine, as I think it teaches a very one view approach to airbrushing, but it will help you as an info source: http://www.airbrushaction.com I suggest to help you on your quest for answers about custom painitng in general, make friends w/ your local automotive paint salesman or bodyshop painter and offer to help out for some free advice on coatings, spray tips etc....even the boring auto body painter will have a wealth of knowledge about "spraying". NOTE: Not all artwork is done best w/ a finite detail airbrush. Hope this helps. Best Regards, John snowkatslim 04-21-2005, 04:29 AM you can use a good auto paint on the top but i really would not use anything but gel coat on the bottom... it will crack and chip and rot eventually with all the wave slapping... beast to leave factory on bottom unless its hammered good luck Jay_Fitzsimmons 04-21-2005, 07:56 AM Yes... We used 1 gal. of clear on the purple hull alone... Aw I miss painting... I wish you said that before I painted mine.......... Jay...
