So I've become tired of my jet ski getting made fun of just because it's pink and purple (the red has sunfaded enough to where I call it pink) and I've decided to do something about it. I've never done any kind of vehicle painting, stenciling, and my spray painting experience has been limited to a single computer case mod...6 years ago.
Naturally, instead of asking advice, I dreamed up some random design and simply dove in. Now, before you let me have it when you see how I'm doing the painting, keep in mind, that my spray paint skills are extremely limited, so the techniques I'm using are really just meant to minimize the visibility of my screw-ups.
Behold, the most tedious method for masking...employed on a full PWC scale!
Clearly I'm not finished yet. The paint fades from cherry red in the front to bright orange in the middle to yellow at the back. I'm planning on cutting designs like the bio hazard symbol into the masking (painters) tape as well as flames (you can see the marker drawing).
Feel free to rip on me for the idea of wrapping the whole thing in painter's tape, but when you do, also let me know how a spaz like myself can do this more easily next time while keeping the paint job clean.
