Swim Platform Color Suggestions
 
1 Attachment(s)
I've got my platform off and really want to change it from white? What do you guys think I was thinking silver to match the logo and the shadows of the dots or maybe purple. Suggestions I'm open?

I think Silver might really look good with the Oval....

How about the dark purple from the front? It might look kind of cool to pick that color back up aft.

X2, or carrying the pink and white graphic pattern from the hatch and transom thru the platform. Don't know how it would look though. I do think the dark purple would look good.

Not sure if this helps you visalize but mine is a sort of "blue purple"

I think the purple would be awesome. It will really carry well from the sides/top and transom.

I think I'm starting to lean towards the purple the more I look at it. I had thought about running the graphic through but I really don't want to add anymore pink "magenta" lol if I can get away with it. Been trying to eliminate as much of that as I can.

Great shot of the boat! I have always loved those colors and paint.

You need to check out the Illusion Poweder Coats by Dupont.
You can get samples if you call and ask.
I live in Houston and I went to their facility and got some samples.
They sparkle and change colors in the sunlight. I had mine done from Extreme whom made the swim platform. I think they charged me $300 more for the Illusion powdercoat. It's a base Black with a Dark Maroon/purple sparkle. Depending on the angle in the sun light, you can see Green, otherwise, maroon. The only bad part about that is that I don't have any Green on my boat. There is also a powder coat that is Black with Silver Sparkles in the Sun, and it does not change color.

Thanks Frank - That was actually back when Todd still owned it, but nothing has changed....

Agreed...It will tie in the front

go with silver bro, its an updated look and will not show scratches as bad as the dark purple!

That's what I was thinking I think the purple would look good but still be a bit dated. I thought silver might update it a bit.

Come on man you know PINK is where its at!

I would definitely go with the silver as well. The exact same silver that you have in the logos/ovals.

I think if you were to go with the pink, purple, etc, it would look disproportionate from a distance. Since the design of the paintjob is different on each side of the boat, you run the risk of having one side blend differently than the other side. That silver will balance out with the paint design smoothly, no matter which side of the boat you are looking at.

I really like the way your boat looks overall. You've done a great job cleaning & updating the whole thing, just like you did with the Bullets you redid. :cool:

Thanks man. The more I looked at it tonight in the shop I've decided on silver. I was thinking the same thing it was only going to look really good purple from one side. The silver will tie the logos in and all the shadows on the dots are silver and it will bring them out more.

I think Silver will be cool looking. Especially if you can get it with a metallic finish. Good luck, boat looks great!

SS930 04-08-2011 08:23 AM

Leave it alone... Paint the rest of the boat white to match the swim platform! :D
