Powerquest Vinyl graphic

Powerquest_Baby!! · 02-28-2009, 11:14 PM

Does anyone know who did the vinyl graphics for PQ? Was it done at the factory or did they have an outside company produce them?
Im specifically looking for the graphic on 2002 34 ft Vipers (I assume this is vinyl and not painted or gel coat).

Thanks

Pq crazy has a 29 with the same graphic and it is paint.

WOW! That is incredible paintwork! I wonder how they repeat that design on so many boats? Looks incredible

Its all paint. PQ started to do some nice paint jobs in 2002. it is sad to see that they are gone for now...

PQ had great gel work and when they switched over to paint they only got better. The paint on my boat is flawless. They were able to get a finish clear enough that it is like a mirror.

Maybe you guys can give me some feedback. Im looking at updating the look of my boat--the pink and teal has just got to go!!
Im looking at going with a vinyl graphic and found a few options that I like. Ill post a pic of my boat and a few options. Let me know which one you like the best.
Thanks

This is what I have now

Options are:

Keep in mind that this one would still be Red, Black and Purple--not the colors you are seeing here.

OR

You'd be better off painting something over the old graphics. Pending the quality and thickness of the vinyl you find the old colors will still bleed through.

A guy I know had his colors redone in paint, kept the same design but just updated the colors. Made the whole boat look totally new. Something to think about, might be less as well. I would paint before vinyl, but thats just my .02. Good luck and keep us posted on what you do.

Here is an idea I was kicking around (photoshoped).
I considered just painting ($2500) over what I have now with new colors but for 1/3 the cost I can go with one of the vinyl graphic options ($700) I attached above--financially it just doesnt make sense to paint.

I really dont think I have to worry about pink and teal bleeding thru anything! They are just too light and the new colors Im considering are red, black and purple.

Im also going to see what the cost would be to have a vinyl graphic made that is identical to what PQCrazy has on his boat--I just love that design and if its equal to or less than the cost of painting I may just go that direction. To me that would be worth the extra cost.
