Indeed, got the bus down to my mates spray booth and got busy masking up the areas ready for the orange pearl.
Way nice spraying in that booth instead of the shed I 'll tell you, its amazing how the lights show up the wet edge so well.

Looking hard at the masking lines

Laying on the color

Back home and ready for 1500grt blocking

Back on the rack, pretty happy with the finish and straightness on the panels. Not bad for a surfboard maker :)

thanks guys, yeh its bright couldn't see me doing a dull color its just not me. Plus every ones happier when they see it ;)
I didn't need to buff to much as I made sure it was wet and not to much orange peel off the gun. Still it took a whole day to get it rubbed back in 1500 and buffed.
