This is a two part post on a Sea doo overhaul. Depending on where you are and the design your looking for, this job can be done for less then one thousand dollars. I will start with the hood and attachments for the sea doo since it was fairly simple and the owner just wanted a black finish.


All the parts were sand prepped first and all stickers removed.

 The main body did require some bondo work before I laid down a primer.


















This plastic box also needed to be painted black and took a little time since I didn't want to clog up the lever which opens the box.

 After 2 coats of primer I did some light sanding to remove any bumps from the finish.

 I used Auto Air paints so all I needed was a well ventilated area. No mask required.











I had to gut the mirrors and be careful not to break the glass since the mirrors angle to the sides the colour has to be consistent.

 This image shows the hood after 3 coats of opaque black. I also mixed in half a bottle of metallic blue which can only be seen in sun light.














Without good lighting this would have been difficult to spray.

This is the finished product after clearing.











These parts were completed in one day. I was able to paint and clear doing three coats. In between spraying, each part was baked to seal the clear coat.
