He did this boat, and the paint has pearl in it, you would not believe how good it looks in the sunlight.

Sorry I haven't been able to post pics (Computer illiteracy), but I'm hoping someone can help. Next weekend I'll be racing the boat in OPA's Point Pleasant NJ Race, maybe someone can post some pics for me?
The biggest problem with this job wasn't the boat, but the overspray-which got onto the trailer/gooseneck.

Air,
I had the boat at the Point Pleasant Race and received several comments how good the paint job turned out. I'm not at the Mentor race this weekend, but should make the rest of OPA's schedule. Hope to see you at the Mass. race. How is your boat coming?

Take a look at our web site www.boatwrapzs.com and you will see a Magnum that was featured at the Chicago Boat show.We use a special process and vinyl and can deliver the best high end graphics at half or less than the cost of paint and your boat is only tied up for 7-10 days.The only hitch is it has done be done at our shop which is 50 miles NW of Chicago.Take a look everyone who saw the boat could not believe it was not painted and the possibilities are endless.

I had a Maaco job done on a car a few years back that turned out awesome.
Only prob was that it was the wrong color. They repainted it and I was satisfied with the results.
I think it cost around 400.00

Just had my trailer painted by maaco, it sux! 
Rust spots were never sanded, doesn't look like they primed it either...the topping on the cake was when I looked underneath....they didn't paint the bottom!
Picutres soon to come...
f'ing waste of $900
