Hey 502ss.. I am actually liking the graphics you have too!! Lil color in the back with big logo and run it up the front. Though I would still have to throw in some curves to match vinyl sunpad graphic.
Btw, great build on your scarab!! Lot of work that turned out great!!

Playing around with Corel photo shop?? What do you think? Kind of like no stripe to bow. Stripes suck but using trial version but you get the idea. Simple approach with minimal graphics?

I like the idea of more graphics towards the stern and less by the bow, sometimes a design like that makes the boat look longer. But not sure I am in love with that idea so far. Keep the ideas coming though!

What do you not like about? That was a really rough mock up of overall idea I had. I was trying to mock up what the existing stripes or at least most of them would look like if i extended them to the bottom eliminating th stripe?
I am up for any ideas, color schemes w/teal or where to shop for graphics. I found a site where I can get gloss white 3m 1080 wrap for 3-400 to white out the sides and reapply or add something to the rear?? Maybe like the painted version on the first post.. oh, I thought about the huge "Baja" or "Outlaw" graphics on side??
Anyone: Any ideas.. please post a pic.. on ly equipment is keeping the teal. Not opposed to stealing ideas

Well the Teal is not faded. I am not particularly fond of the lt green and faded pink. Didn't realize how faded the pink was till I started wet sanding the crap out of it.. I also considered changing all to Teal, See below:
though, I do like the no strip to the front or I could give it a black shadow or curves also...

I will try to remove the Stripe and extend lines down to bottom of side and post later. EDIT: here we go... the addition lines are a little jagged, but you get the idea... not too bad!

Take this coming from a guy that has the entire side from rubrail down and back of boat wrapped. If you can afford it... I couldnt at the time; go with paint. Im always freaking out about getting a rip or tear. Now I have a few so dont care as much anymore. I still remember the first rip in the vinyl like yesterday.I wont let others use their fenders next to my boat because it could rip the vinyl. That means keeping cloth covered fenders on both sides of the boat in case a friend ties up next to you when away from the boat. Also the longer the vinyl is on the harder it is to get off. Like I said im broke so went vinyl hope this helps.
