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.

boats are painted all the time that stay in the water, so thats B/S, I would sand with 220, mask off and paint with interlux one part poly, follow the instructions with a foam roller and tip off with a brush, sand lighty between coats, 2 coats, let dry few weeks water sand and buff, will look like sprayed...done it several times..Rob
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

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.

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

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:
