Mask the openings in the hull from primer
overspray.Spray a light coat of primer. Let this
flash for a few minutes, and spray a heavy coat

fill any nicks or surface imperfections.
When dry, wet sand with 400 on a rubber block.
If you are happy with the surface, spray on
another medium coat of primer.
When dry, wet sand with 600 or 800.
Watch out for the sharp skeg…
Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove the

When cured, wet sand with 800+ and clear coat
the entire hull.
Make sure the clear is completely cured before
final assembly.
To apply your decals, wipe the area with alcohol
