So - For example - hull and paint
« on: July 02, 2010, 03:41:26 AM »
Have a project boat, it's an extra Carrerra Elite 205 - No engine, but other than that pretty complete.

The hull if really weathered and the what appears to be in laid 7 color gel coat (maybe) is also faded and overall this exterior is worn and scratched.

Dark gray base.

So - For Example - say I wanyted to change the color of this boat to all white with blue graphics.

Lay it out for me - having never experienced this - what could I expect - i'm not doing it but someone is !

Can this be done ?, would the current inlaid colors go away ? how deep are the inlaid colors on a carrerra ?
