She's Naked!

[supraaddict]

Haha!!! I knew i could get you to click on this thread just because of the title!

Anyway, my boat was in bad need of a full-on strip down and detail so here we go:

Stripped all Gravity Games White Decals from the side and the transom.
Wet-sanded her with 2000 grit sandpaper and a block on the sides.
Used 3m Super Duty Compound with a wool pad on a Makita 6 speed buffer. (1500-2000 RPM Settings)
Then Used 3m Finesse It 2. (Same 1500-2000 RPM Settings)
Then Used 100% C (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=carnabua+wax&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)arnabua Wax for protection.

Here she is with all Gravity Games Graphics stripped, she's way naked now, what do you guys think???

damn! that is really shiny. i cant wait to see some on the water pics with it looking like that! did you do the work, or have a shop do it? if you did it great job!!

[supraaddict]

Thanks for the kind words! I did all the work myself. Took me a total of 3 days! It was well worth it, and pics on the water coming this weekend!

looking sharp , now i'll know what to do in the future

[supraaddict]

Thanks, Yeah, I did a lot of research first and it seems like I used the "magic combination" of products.

[supraaddict]

Yep, Thanks man! I just don't trust anyone else to do the work.

so fresh and so clean...2 thumbs up!

[supraaddict]

Thanks Salty, that's exactly what I was going for!

Nothing beats a clean boat... Nice work! I like her "classic" side better than the propaganda/decal look.

I used to prefer the GG decals but I think I've turned the corner on that.... She looks great naked and you did use the "magic combination" to bring her back!

[Supra_Comp]

Looks way better without all of the decals! Nice job!

[supraaddict]

I agree, the sponsored propaganda look is a little out dated.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to shine up the docking light housings? Mine look terrible from the previous owner, I'd like to get them polished up. I'm not even sure what they're made out of...

[supraaddict]

^ I used the same process as for the gelcoat, just buffed right over them. Mine were spotted and had some corrosion on them as well.

Like I tell my wife, I always prefer naked. Seriously, I like the non-sponsored look a lot better. I really like your color combination of dark blue, black, accented with chrome. I always felt that the decals took away from the natural beauty of the boat. Naked is always better.

And great job on the elbow grease. Looking great.

[supraaddict]

Thanks Titan! I knew you would appreciate the natural naked body lines! :D

As promised, here is a pic on the water from tonight:

Gorgeous, wanna come and do mine? :)

I like naked better too - all my decals came off pretty quickly after getting it as well.

[TitanTn]

Check it out! Your boat is changing the color of the water! It's radiating color. Beautiful.

Looks great man!

Are you on Norfork much? Seems like I've seen your boat before....

That's where my buddies and I go. Usually put in at Henderson and Hang out back around Buzzard Roost.

[supraaddict]

^^ yeah man, we go to Norfork. I am usually between Tracy Ferry and Pigeon Creek.

You bring it to Arkansas and I'll clean on it! :D
