    My freshly Painted SV27, Acura Pearl White, with a little extra blue/red flake

    Whats up guys, this is my first sv i bought, i have two now, this one will be the one i run in the modifed sv class when im ready to, the other one I have will be my stock spec, beater boat, hahah. Not this one thought im gonna try and keep this one nice and staright. I patched up the front nose area has a decent sized chip, and threw some nice CF Viynl on it in somes spots, still waiting on my Famous Stars & Straps Decals I ordered for it.

    I mounted the stock SV HW for now until i get some money built up so i can get speedmaster hw. I knife edged the rudder blade, turned out nice, The trim tabs are from kintec racing, they were blue, but i removed the blue and celaned up the edges on them, they came a little rough, so i sanded them down.
    Its turning out nice, liek i planned so far!

    Let me know what you guys think, im going to spray the stock sv hw with a titanium color tommorow.
    Its hard to catch the pearl and flakes indoors, but this thing gleams!

      Looks like you've got some polishing to do there.

          Polish it man!

          I spent a little over 2 hours on my rudder.

          Sanded with 440 and 320 and then used my meguiars NXT polish to shine it up.
          Its got a couple flaws on the water pick up side of the rudder that im going to fix.
          I need to do my strut and turn fin next i just havent done any research to find a better way to remove the anodizing yet.

                I used that meguiars hot rims cleaner, worked great left little anoidize but it sanded off, but yea that stuff worked great so it in it for about 10 mins, twice so total about 20 mins and came off easily!

                thanks diego and papa!

                  I have not found a better polish than Flitz for metal.

                      Looks awesome, if i might ask what was your prep work like and what did you use. I want to repaint my sv but im afraid of the paint peeling off with the hatch tape.
