DIY Surf Deck

[996scott]

Ive been wanting to do this for a while and since work has shut down i decided to get started a few weeks ago. I basically followed aerolland's design from this thread.

I'm not done yet but this is where i am at so far:

First picture is the shape and size compared to the oem swim deck.

2nd picture is after the first coat of epoxy mixed with a black die. I thought this would be better than using clear epoxy and painting it later.

3rd picture is after sanding down the first coat starting with 80grit down to 220grit. There was a lot of dripping that happened over the edges (you can see it in the picture) so a fair amount of sanding was needed. I kind of like the dull "matte" finish look.

4th picture is after the 2nd coat of epoxy. I did a much better job on the 2nd coat but will still sand down to probably something like a 2000grit and then polish to get the high gloss look back so it matches the boat.

I'll update as i get more done.
