WOW! That is a bid difference! I am still going to be putting on vinyl graphics that I am hoping will have a similar affect.

The boat has been put on hold for a few day, my wife is 18 weeks along and we ran into some issues. She is on bed rest until further notice.

Man that looks really sharp! Super clean looking in the white.

Are those dash pods painted or covered in vinyl?

My dash is similar and vinyl, but needs to be redone. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to DIY my interior or pay $$$

Keep the pictures coming!

Thank you for the comment and welcome to my build! The dash was a tan vinyl. I used vinyl spray paint to cover the vinyl and much to my suprise it turned out great! It looks much better then the black plastic cubby.

Tower is going on tonight, Along with the rest of in interior. Then tomorrow I am hoping to have the vinyl ready to put on the boat! Also picked up some Sea dek for the non slip deck of the boat. I feel so close and so far at the same time.

Look so much better with the tower!

Put The Throttle control back together, Side Upholstry, and most of the dash.

This is what we are thinking for the vinyl on the side. What are you thoughts?

i used the same paint on mine, but rolled and tip'd it instead of spray since i was doing it outdoors.

It needs something, just not sure that's it. Lol

I'm a bad one to offer advice on that sort of thing I'm kinda reserved and old fashioned when it comes to paint jobs and such. I love all your work. You must never sleep. LOL
Keep it up.

How did it turn out doing it outside? Many imperfections?

This was the first draw up so I am sure it will be different then this but we are going for an abstract look for sure.

Thank you, I have spent a lot of time making the paint look good. and I must say I have had a few 3-4AM'ers

Thank you for the comment on the paint. It was a lot of hard work but the paint sure looks good now.

Re: 98 Stingray Paint and upholster Restoration Input Wanted** Splashed**

It was a good day today! I finally Splashed the boat!! Not 100% done with her but the rest can be done over the next few weeks while I am getting my wakeboard fix.

Here is what she looked like after we pulled her out. I wish I got some pic's of her on the water cause you can't see the shine in these pictures.

Yeah, There are a few things in there that you don't see at first. We are going to take out some of the "splash marks" and do more random items I think.

it came out pretty good...alot of sanding...3 coats of primer with alot of sanding inbetween coats...and, so far, 3 coats of color with alot of sanding in between coats. she still needs one more coat of color, but saving that for last. It took alot of coats due to the fact that i was going from a blue hull to a bright yellow.
