I'd show ya'll a pic a my boat but,...... The paint looks like it has lepercy. Flaking,peeling,cracking,missing chuncks and some of the side trim is held on with duct tape.

here's the pic of the boat from HD's post. Tasty!

The big boat guys must spend more than my house is worth on just paint!

NEED SOME HELP WITH GRAPHICS DESIGN LEXUS PEARL WHITE ON TOP WITH ARCTIC WHITE ON BOTTOM . ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRICIATED. THINKING YELLOW ORANGE AND RED OR BLUE NOT RED STRIPING OR FLAMES. TRAILER WILL BE ALL WHITE. MAYBE FLAMES OR STRIPES ON IT TOO.

SWTD 80, We raced a Hondo Pantera had the prettiest paint on the planet. Candy red over gold belt-line stripe and deck with blue 1/4" surround. It had airbrushed scalloped detail on the deck and variegated gold pin striping and lettering / numbers all over a gold pearl over white base. Yea it was old school but it still would look good today.

« **Reply #71 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:18:00 PM »
