Does he do airbrushing?
All that sanding and prep work.... I rekon a glass yak would look and unique with some graphics painted along the hull.

Black and Orange is mine tho ok? No copies

I was thinking something along the lines of Rob Forts artwork or perhaps some of the scenery from the charity yakkers trip.
Kinda' like a tatoo of something special / personal to yourself.
Obviously would cost more but would certainly look cool.

Need a slightly narrower nude to fit into my deck outline

[Jeff666]

How about this for an airbrush picture,

[MadMike]

How's the renovation coming YakSolo?

[YakSolo_333]

Painting in progress, they could not put it in the oven since heat might damage the fibreglass and also create bubbles. So a slow drying process in order, expect to have it back sometimes this week

Mission accomplished

Apparently common to encounter hammerheads there as have read others Trip reports with seeoing them in same area I did .

Hey Ali

Sorry, I know this was a while ago, but just wondering if you could expand on the paint you used in the end and the prep required etc.

How have you found the durability?

Hi mate. Pointloader recommend PPG Dulon 2K Automotive Enamel so on it went. Prep is easy, lots of standing. I would spend more time on prep next time as some Deep scratches show below the paint. But overall pretty happy with the finish. Durability is been good although I have been extra careful and it hasn't got much used this summer due to so many horse in the stable

That's great news that you've been pretty happy with it.

Did PL do the spraying for you, or did you get a local car painter (or similar) to do it?
