Paint ideas
 

I'm thinking of putting a little Krylon on the boat over the winter. I was thinking I'd just stick with the same graphics, just update the colors a little and add some ghosted Baja logos into the mix.
Am I wasting the time and $$ or what?
I don't want to paint the entire boat, nor do I wish to spend the $$ to do so.
I am thinking candy red, a really nice metallic silver and a metallic black or carbon fiber look paint all three colors as a possibility.
What do you think?

A deep candy red is one of the nicest colors around. Just make sure who ever is applying it, knows what he or she is doing. It's a clear color, and it looks bad if the thickness is uneven.

Jason. Thought you where selling your boat?

I would like to sell it & buy an airplane, however I think if I keep this boat I'll be able to have both!

Rattle cans don't cost much--- :evilb:

I know! Wal-Mart has it on sale for $0.99 a can. I plan on leaving it & the paint in Mexican town to let the graffiti "artists" have at it.

Somewhere around I20 and Carrier Parkway? I know the place well----LOL

Have you looked at "Wraps"? I know you dont want to paint the boat, but, there are some pretty cool wraps out there, and, unlike Paint, its easier/cheaper to change or remove. Worst part of custom paint is it really limits the resale, but, you are keeping it anyway, so, go for it!!

Good Luck!

I think some of those Fountain lighting bolts or what ever they call them.
Might even be able to hit 1Hundie with them

Absolutely not! Wraps don't shine & since I used to be a Messican (I still like lights & chrome) a wrap to me is a word usually followed by "sheet".
No wraps for me.

You have a sweet boat and upgrading to the next step is way to far of a leap, and still get a plane. I feel like I am in the same situation as you. I want to upgrade boats but to keep the large cockpit, 100mph, at least 2001, at least gain few feet, etc, stonger drives, etc, the jump is huge. So I bought the cruiser and kept this boat.

I like the carbon fiber idea, and the candy red sounds nice as long as it does not look to burgandy. I love lots of black graphics also! I would paint the entire boat, go big or go home! I hear you can work some good deals out for winter. Mitcher T did a nice job on a 37 outerlimits last winter, and I heard it was a good deal.

We have decided, based upon serious $$ to paper figures with a buyer's agent yesterday that we will not be buying a plane anytime soon as long as the group I'm in with stays functional. It is far less expensive to keep in the club & put up with the occasional inconvenience of availability than to peruse 100% ownership.
As far as sinking more $ into the boat I have now, it makes very little since, however it needs paint & interior for me to be happy with it.

well let us know when your ready for the upgrades I'm sure between XT and us we can get you what you want

I think something along the lines of this would look good. Simple and good looking.

I like that a lot. Too bad it isn't carried to the inside of the boat. Kinda like painting a car & skipping the door jams.

Yep, We can take care of the interior, and you can give Jason ideas how the highlight the gelcoat graphic's like we did at Baja!

How about a custom interior?

"Bad Idea" accross the motorlid!!!!

We could make a stock skin to keep for resale.

Seeing that 302 makes me think...there's a lot of blank canvas on my huge lid for you to do something cool with this winter:) Not to hi-jack Jason's thread. As far as paint goes, I like what Dave posted above. Kind of a factory PLUS look.

"Wrap sheet" I get it, LOL!

I should have figured with a Traditional "messican" name like "Jason Smith, LOL! When are you gonna put the chrome chain steering wheel on the boat? LOL

Its a wicked boat, good luck with whatever you decide

Michael

Sounds like a cool idea for sure. Jason, looking forward to see what you do.


Looks nice. 90 GRAND???! Give me a hit on that pipe. Must be good chit.:bong:

Bad Idea is a Kick Azz ride as is.

Put another train horn and some bigger tires on your truck and call it a day.:lolhit:

Hi-jacked.....anyway!

Yes, you could add "342" or "Boss" maybe both.

Is that thing winterized yet? It's gonna be 80's this weekend, but we need to set a date to come get it.

XT

Not yet. I'll call you sometime next week.

That new candy red everyone is using sure looks good on the water. I would go for it!

It just needs a facelift. Nothing too exotic or custom to me. Just get it back right.
Nice, modern materials in the cockpit, a little Krylon update on the colors, new rub rail. Just the cosmetics. Everything else is in fantastic shape....besides the little water leak with the extension boxes.
