I wanted to use old skool Smile lace for the middle panels until I priced the lace!!!! So instead, I spent $8 on a table runner at WalMart. Smile Start by more masking and butcher paper over the large sections.

I attempted to lay the runner down the middle of the panel and straight.

It's hard to see, but I've misted white, silver metalflake and red over the runner.

Time for the deck. I start by masking the bottom so I don't get any overspray or gouge the paint that is vulnerable until the clear coat is on it.

I'm going to do the deck in a more abstract pattern so I don't have to worry about symmerty! Smile I found a design I liked in the current surf magazine, so I'll try and reproduce that.

It's an American flag theme, so I lay down the base coat in white.

The nose will have star patterns and the tail will have red and white jagged stripes. I cut the tape for the red and white stripes on a big sheet of skatelite - left over from a half pipe. The skatelite is very slippery and hard, the tape sticks to it until I want it up! Smile I'll let the white base coat firm up over night and do the red tomorrow.

All done and demasked. Smile I'll let the thing cure for a day and then start the clear coats. The freehand stuff goes much quicker! Smile

LOL - Oh no! Is it?! Smile The weather isn't cooperating with me for the clear coat, the wind is howling and that will give me all sorts of goodies stuck in the clear. Once the wind stops, I'll shoot the clear.

This is the catalyzed clear, if you look at the bottom you'll see the stem. The bottom of the can has the catalyst. There is a red button on the top that is used to depress the stem, which them mixes the catalyst into the clear coat. The only issue is that once it's mixed, the clear coat only has a working life of 24 hours. I'll need enough "working" time to coat both sides several times. Keeping my fingers crossed for the weekend.

It rode well! Nice and light and stiff enough to push hard.
