K4,
Did you get any pics of the hatch pad , by chance yet?
Thanks,
Dean

Still blocking the top. Hope to do final spray tonight. The bottom came out nice. The undercoating smoothed everything out nicely.

Finally finished! :bunnydance:

Only a few crappy pics in the garage but I will get some better photos once I put it back on the boat. Mirrors underneath came out better than expected as well. Time to go hit the water!!!!

K4,
It looks awesome, is that BASF Blue that you used on the hatch? Looks like the same BASF Blue that our 388 is painted in.... FYI, if it is the same BASF Blue, ours gets HOT in the direct sunlight, so watch out with bare feet or skin!

Got it on the boat this weekend. Paint match was pretty much spot on. Lines looked good. Only thing I wasnt anticipating was how high the profile from behind seems but then again its on the trailer. Havent had time to clean the engine compartment yet so I didnt get any shots of the mirrors yet but I'll get some soon. I was really happy painting the whole thing blue. It makes the white headrests stand out so much better than white on white.

Heres a few on the boat:
