    My hull is white and I’m def intrigued by hija you painted yours black ..
    Do you think it’s worth doing and as far as sanding where do I begin to remove the white ? Thanks

    Hey if I wanna paint the whole jet ski do I have to sand down the whole jet ski or just sand in the areas I use the icing in? Please let me know!

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You will have to sand everything you want to paint so the new paint can adhere to it properly.

      Hey! One more thing, when I use 80 grit sand paper do I need to use it on the whole jet ski or can I just do the areas that are scratched or messed up?

    two questions,, did you roll and tip? and did you thin the paint at all? im using the exact same paint in royal blue and i really like how yours turned out..good job man

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Didn't thin it at all, and I did roll it. The biggest thing was wet sanding it and buffing it afterwards to really get it perfect.

    do you think the paint you used can be used for the same exact ski but on the bottom?

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They actually make the same paint specific for the bottom hull.

    I'm looking to possibly sand and paint a 95 Sea Doo SPI. Do you have any advice on how to sand the ski and what type of paint to use. I like hi gloss. I want to paint it Nardo grey

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would just be cautious of what paint you use. Being a jetski it'll most likely scratch fairly easily. I would try and good a good thicker clear coat or actual marine paint your ski.

      I believe Yamaha skis are painted, I had purchased already painted at one point. So I might have had gel coat at one point in its life.

    heya just watched your video and i'm also going to repaint my jetski.
    What grain size sand paper did you use at start to remove the original paint work? did you the same grain size to smooth out the pinholes when you patched them out?
    ps: great job

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The initial sanding I believe I started with 80grot to knock everything down. Everything after that was 400-2000 grit 👍

    how do you know when you need a fiberglass fix or putty fix?!

    • @HitchinMitch
      @HitchinMitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would do putty fix if it's only paint damage, but if it's torn through deep enough where fiberglass has been broken that's when I would look at using fiberglass and resin to fix it.
