How to paint blades

Take all of the fittings off of them. Fill any defects with a polyester filler like Bondo or the marine equivalent. If there are dings in the trailing edge or tip read some of the previous posts on the Laser forum. Carefully sand every thing with 220 grit paper. Stick a 10-12" dowel thru the hole in the top front and hang it from the ceiling with some wire or line. Paint it with white epoxy primer you do not have to topcoat. Sand the paint back perfectly smooth going by the numbers as high as you can stand. You should go at least up to 600 grit, 1200 grit would be ideal.
 
The easiest best bang for your buck is to get 2 or 3 cans of white spray paint at homedepot, follow the directions, sand and do a few coats.
