Well, I TRIED to spray the Tige today. The plan was to spray the flake, spray the blue, and clear everything together. The flake came out great, the when I was inside spraying the blue the paper fell and I couldn't see it. I got blue all over the flake. We tried to wipe it off, but it didn't work well enough. We decided to just clear the blue and now I have to sand the flake back down and respray it tomorrow.

I’m curious about that little 35 year old pwc from earlier.

Is it common for people to restore them? How much are they paying (roughly) to get fiberglass work and paint done on a small PWC?

I would say it's not very common. I've only seen a few of these older styles, and one other that was totally resprayed, yellow and pinkish I think. Pictures of that are long gone.

I don't have any idea of the cost, I don't handle that stuff.

That PWC is a Kawasaki Chicken according to what the super found out. The owner also had a bunch of parts custom made.

I also got the Tige flake sprayed today.

Remember that model Kawa PWC when they first came out. It like most every PWC was slow compared to today's model.

You guys do some varied work and seem to be doing it well from where I sit.
