Hi guys ,I'm getting my boat ready for paint and want to change the colour from all black with the traditional grey stripe down the side to white on the bottom black on the sides and white on the deck. Does anybody on the board have software and ability to mock up a 1982 302ls picture so I might get an idea how it will look. I'm going fot the Cig playboy paint scheme. Thanks in advance for any help I might get. Rick G.

FANTASTIC Thankyou very much . One of these days you guys have to teach me how to do that. I would love to hear your opinions on my proposed paint scheme. All opinions are welcome , also any ideas would be appreciated. I'm not in a position to do one of those high dollar integrated paint schemes. Some thing tastefull a couple of colours sort of retro. I love the classics. Thanks again. Rick G.

I know Jon, but the whole boat is black Gel now and is a ***** to clean and it is very faded thats why I'm painting. Given the deck will be white it will 100% improvement over the current state of affairs.I've decide to go with a product called Endura to paint the boat. You can apply this product right on the gelcoat without primer if you want and it has better water resistance than Imron or awlgrip, At least thats what I'm told. This is important to me as my boat stays in the the water for days at a time at the marina by my cottage.

The hot color choice on the 2003 Sunsports and Supersports is black Flagship(solid color hull sides) Not listed anywhere but nevertheless available. Makes the most beatiful Formula ever! You could change the silver bird logo to gold for an added touch.

Hi Rick,
I'd really love to see a photo of your boat. If you're not the original owner and it's from the midwest, I think I might know it.
Anyway, here's a template I made for the 302 that you and the others might find useful. I saved it in greyscale to get under the size limitations here. To use it in color, you would simply need to convert it to RGB, and then you can bucket fill each region with different colors to get a feel for the results.
If anyone would like a larger version, let me know and I'll email it directly.
Good luck.

Thanks MrMagloo. I'm not the original owner , I bought the boat in Buffalo NY ,Tonawanda to be exact. It is a 1982 all black gel except for the grey stripe along the side. I have tried to post pictures but with no luck . But I will keep trying. I've done some neat things that I would love to show you guys but as I said this picture poting thing really has me screwed up. I'm going to get my computer guy at the office to help me.I moved the shifters and throttles and made a pad to hold my trim and tab indicators and also some foot rests and a step up the deck on the port side. Thanks again and have a great holiday Rick G.
