      this is how we do atv fenders they flex alot so i looked this up for you, this has a step by step how to do it. it will also work for plastic abs boats. i am told.
      http://www.urethanesupply.com/atvpainting.php i used the same method on my hull i just did, but i got paint from auto paint supply shop in spray cans. and took rcboaterguy suggestions . and preheated paint it did do very well and layer out good.

              this is really my first build and have really enjoyed it. it helps me pass time and i enjoy the sport. since i have got into the boats my helis have been doing alot of setting. but i still get the bug to fly. cant wait to Finnish and do some testing. i am still waiting for some parts to come in from overseas and me and my wife fly out to fla in the am sat morning, (cruz time) since we started packing, i have found our video cam so i can tape some runs. with all the upgrades. still looking on how to find are make some good decals. but i did luck out and found a guy that does custom wraps for cars, he is only 20 miles away, i talked to him about boats and he said he can do it without any trouble . so when i do the next one i going to let him do the custom work on it and wrap the post. be gone 10 days so when i get back parts should be in and i can start back in.

                        New items and the bare hull. Just need to finish my bathroom remodel and I can get started on prep work of the hull. Really like the color combination of this former Titan hull I found on the web, I believe it was a member here?

                            Been working on getting ready to reinforce the motor mount area with fiberglass and epoxy. Started thinking I'd like to add some cowl feature to the back hatch. Hacked up one of my son's old toy cars to give a scale looking feature to the Shockwave (Who we are now calling "Project Slingshot")

                                Any updates on your shockwave? I've finished epoxying mine, need to start sanding, still toying with paint scheme ideas, but it's warming up in Chicago and my house projects are winding down.
