What do you think?

If it's not going to show up, then I wouldn't change it. Pearl would look nice on it though, just don't change the shade of the red itself when you paint it. That shade of red is what makes it look so good.

The original paint job's idea came from a Marlboro Red box & a divers flag, which doesn't have any pearl in it, if that makes a difference.

We are completely repainting the outside i.e. hull, deck, drives, tabs, platform, etc...

My question is - can a person play with the sacred Cigarette 90 MPH paint? I am considering putting some pearl in the red. The pearl would not show from 10+ foot, only when you are upon it. Would a Cig owner be turned off by this? Or should I not goof around with the paint scheme and leave it a solid red? I'm checking out samples this Thursday and am really on the fence.

What do you think?

Do it the way you want. With all the $$$ you will have in it what's 5K-10K on the resale. It may as well be to your spec. Now onto the real question. Is the speed going to match the paint job after the new power is done?

Talk to Brad.

@ Smitty - I can not put pearl in the white without painting interior as well, the white rolls from interior to exterior.

@ BLee - the shade of red is not changing... i think?

I will check out the samples in a couple days and try to start posting some pics soon.

Thanks everyone!

Candy or metallic would make the red pop without changing the hue. Just another idea.

Stretch the white on the hull sides to have more of a forward lean to it. It'll make the boat look longer, more modern and still keep the heritage of the 90mph scheme. The stretched Cig logo will go with it, too.

I love the paint scheme, but just not wild about the big block of white that breaks up the hull sides.

And like everyone else is saying.... make it the way you want!
