I finally got a Ul-1, wanted the green one, but got the yellow at a good price. Had to change the color, and my project commenced.

I used Rustoleum Primer, Acrylic Enamel and Lacquer. All rattle cans. She had her first water voyage yesterday afternoon with the new skin, and all went well. Even after the hard flip

I sanded it good to be sure the paint would stick. Made sure there were no glossy spots on the boat. I used 100, 150, than 200 grit sandpaper. Than the primer went on. After the first coat of primer I used a wet 2000Abralon pad to smooth it out. Than another coat of primer. I believe 3 coats of primer I used and after the 3rd coat I used the 2000Abralon pad again.
After each coat of paint, I rubbed her down with a wet 2000Abralon pad. Wanted her to not only look smooth but feel smooth to the touch. Did the same thing with the Lacquer clear that I put on. Rubbed her down with a wet 2000Abralon pad after the clear was dry and than hit it with a 2nd and 3rd coat of clear. Doing the same with the 2000Abralon pad. After the 3rd coat of clear dried, I used some liquid car polish to really give it some more pop.
I'll have to get another picture up of how shiny she looks now with the added coats of clear on it. I may put one more coat of clear, not sure though. She looks good now.A bizarre incident in the outskirts of an American suburb. It was later revealed the disaster was caused by the T-Virus.

This is what it looked like after the sanding and before the primer was put on. Also I do have an album set up that shows pics of each step I did of the paint scheme.

No problem. Also, be sure to clean the boat good too. Using mineral spirits or alcohol. I used alcohol, didn't have any of the other.A bizarre incident in the outskirts of an American suburb.

Looks awesome.. Way cool how the black and red turned out. Just finished mine and week ago. Was extremely nervous at first and went really slow. But loved the way it turned out. Need post pics on the Supervee forum.Comment
