Painting Hull ?

[sailsmanship]

Can a hull that has alot of scuffs and scratches from repeated beaching be successfully filled,sanded and painted. If it can, any suggestions on how to suspend the ski in order to spray it?

I have repaired hulls however you must re gel-coat it paint won't stay on long and it required me to turn the ski upside down and there is a lot of prep to do before doing that , fuel tank oil tank battery disconnecting the exhaust from the engine etc

Thanks Jeff. The one in question is a 96 GTX like the one in your picture. Is it had to match color?

Re: Painting Hull ?

it is called hunter green pretty common color, you can fill in the scratches with bondo and sand it then prime it and use some spray paint right from home depo,, BUT it will continue to need repainting, even if you re coat it eventually it will scratch off again, stupid idea using colores on the hull
