Title: Pump powder coat
Post by: djaymes on February 07, 2017, 03:17:16 PM
Any suggestions on a good color for this pump? It's out and being re built right now I'm stumped on a good color any suggestions would help

I'd say match the dark grey on the hull.

That was my first choice but I'm worried it will just blend in I kind of want it to stand out

Sparkly pink. You'll definitely stand out that way

How about matching the color of the hardware (vent handles and ski tow)? Are they black?

Great looking boat.

Leave it white just match parts of it like the cover or diverter, whatever's clever. Ties it into the boat without overdoing a color and making it stand out like a sore thumb. Jmo

My good buddy bunger did this to his pump looks nice. Not just boring white and not completely orange or grey in your case

White is a good look for a pump. Maybe polish out the parts that bolt onto the Diverter. You can also paint the Berkeley letters to match a color on the boat. That would be a nice touch.

I thought about doing mine brown to match the boat, but I dunno.

I think there should be some sort of a contrast of colors between the hull and jet.
I would probably go with the light tan color on the top of the hull. It contrasts with the brown but it goes with the rest of the boat as opposed to tan and brown boat, WHITE jet.

djaymes has multiple colors to choose from, 3 colors on the hull and black hardware.
Sometimes white just has that plain stock look. Where as a painted jet would give the boat a "custom" look.
2 cents from a guy with an appliance epoxy white jet.  ;D

Gun metal grey with a clear baked on after looks good

That light shade of blue with the Berkeley lettering gray or the white of the boat would look killer

I had mine powder coated and polished. I think it helped a whole lot. The stock white is nice but I still like a little bit of contrast.
