I've done 2 hoods. I had the oem paint matched and then I used the farm equipment yellow. The rust oleum was actually closer, almost dead on color.

Well I'll give an update. I couldn't find the paint in dupont. Ppg owns the rights to seadoo paint codes. So what I did is my nabor owns a body shop and he has a gun that will give you the paint code. 1 is a perdect match and this code came in at .9 .


This 8s what I did to make may paint room.you can see the rails I installed in the sealing.

Then I used white tarps, they work the best.

I use the little clamps to hold them together

Here it is all set up.

Jet ski in the paint booth befor I started painting.

The ski after it was painted and cleared.

Paint guy I use.

Before I paint I wet the the floor and walls and I start my down draft lol.

Working on the hood now. I'll post some more here in a bit.

Just got the hood done. I have another hood that I'm going to paint black and see what looks best. It did turn out good though.

 

[AdamXP800]

Looking good

Well all painting is done, now just need to finish buffing. I hope to have that done by the weekend so I can start putting this thing together.

Got a question:

I have two umi set ups, both x4 but they look a little different.

1st one,

2nd one

Any info would help, what ones better...

 

[1of500]

Depends on preference one is angled more forward than the other I think one has more rise too

thanks man, also does anyone know on a single gauge hood, around the gauge shouldnt there be a rubber insert?

 

[1of500]

Those are hard to come by but yes.

 

[AdamXP800]

Yea, pretty hard to find a good one. I think racerxxx picked up some NOS ones a while back

How does this look where I'm going to weld my get sensors at?

 

[1of500]

To far out you need to grind the tabs off and put it just to the other sideof the tab

What has to get welded? Every one I've seen uses threaded couplers

 

[1of500]

Can't weld steel to aluminum

 

[racerxxx]

Can't weld steel to aluminum

Or brass, which is all the fittings I've seen used

 

[glsmohio]

ill take a pick of it when i go home for lunch, I know i cant weld steel to aluminum lol, thats why i have to take it to the weld shop, i dont have an aluminum welder, only have a steel welder, but you got me thinking now i better make sure that one part is aluminum...
