This orange and yellow is still wet as of the 3.30pm email.So next is the Hustler script graphics's,front deck and one on each side,He said they will be clearing it Monday,Then all the wet sanding and buffing.Most people will never know I repainted it with not changing it up.But it will be better than NEW.
Also he's doing some custom work on the handles and in a few other places.Being I went back with most of the factory graphics,there wasn't to much to add to it with out making it stand out,Man hind site would of been nice

Yea at first there wasn't much to do,Then Aqua Fiberglass Tracy was way over his head,it had a spot on the front deck were the cover rubbed thru the clear,maybe it could of been feathered and cleared,blended,he went to striping all the clear,then he got into the blue in the fairing,Then he just said repaint the hole top deck,there was some other chips etc.Mitch said they probably could of been repaired,spotted on, that he does it all the time,there was a spot on the side far rear,I wanted a small blend,4 color.Clear peeled,wouldnt festher he said,He striped the clear and re shot the hole side,I asked then TOLD him not to paint over the rock chips in the front,touch them up first,while we were redoing the hole side,well he said he forgot ,then said he meant to,that he wanted to touch up after it was cleared,Amature.In buffing the side he left hand and DA sanding marks,lot of hazy spots not buffed. He said that there normal,that if he polished them out they would keep coming back, because the paint was still drying,I made him rebuff it,then he covered it up so I could see it,started on the top,same way with the transom,still had sanding scratches,he didn't/wouldnt sand and buff the bottom of the swim platform, he said nobody will ever see it,He charged me 12k just on the bottom making it perfect and nobody really would ever see it.It goes on and on,
sorry I'm babbling,Rob
Jeff hind site for what I paid Aqua,ad a little $$ to it,I could of striped the hole thing and Had all new up to date wild paint job.
Here's a pick of the port repair,turned into a full side job$$.
