Will be doing it soon, gotta cover all the repairs!
Been planning to do it all along as I can't stand the factory scheme, still going to be silver/grey but will have Amsoil sponsorship, same a Teague racing, both are the same Skater hull is full size.
Hoping I can score some base in close to the right colour from a bodyman buddy who drives a sander truck for us in the winter, as long as it's near right I'll be happy, put on the decals I have and shoot 2 part clear automotive polyurethane over that.
The clear and paint from the factory isn't hard at all to sand down.
I'd level the sponson bottoms while you're at it, you'll have to use some bondo as the dips down the centre of the sponson are too deep to be sanded out, you can also sharpen up the edges while you're at it, it makes a huge difference having good running surfaces and sharp edges to shear the water flowing off the bottom, less drag.
