I would love to, but I am truly a master of doing things twice. I know I'll **** it up and I'm afraid with something like that it would just wind up costing me more to have someone fix my mistakes.

Ok I'm most likely gonna try this out, if I **** it up, it shouldn't be that much more work for someone to fix.

EZ are referring to the flattening agent when you said one part poly? How do you sand with 220 and not effect the adjacent colors? That seems to me to be my biggest challenge. I think I'm gonna keep it simple and go with black for the big stripe and silver over the teal

Mask off around everything you want to sand then sand away. Kinda like a coloring book, just stay inside the lines, or tape in this matter.

Just an idea, but maybe put a vynl stripe on it and let it go?? You could do diff vynl stripes and see the color you like best??

Actually a bright Silver/chrome vynl stripe would look very cool
Just an idea

you can probably wrap it for a pretty good price. then in another 5 years when that is out of style just re-do it.

How much of the teal and pink is in the cockpit interior????
If its got much of both colors in the cockpit, its not going to look right if you eliminate both colors on the hull sides.

Not much at all, a little patch right below the glove box and on the hatch. Unfortunately it's has all three colors.

Most of my coloring is purple. Gotta price out the vynl, it's gotta be cheaper to paint?

I just got my boat back tonight, I had the "berry" stripe changed to silver and the teal changed to black. I'm having my new upholstery, hatch with head rests, back and bench installed tomorrow morning, I'll have pics up tomorrow.

Graphics, $601.00 otd installed
Upholstery $650.00 otd installed

a few pics of the hatch:
