What it might look like....removing the vinyl graphics!
1 Attachment(s)
I'm seriously considering removing the vinyl graphics on my boat.............has anyone done this ? Does anyone know the proper process for removing these and the process to get rid of lines that may be left. I don't want to remove them and then have the boat still look like they are there. I'm concerned that the hull is a different shade of white (I'm sure it is) under the stickers..... I really like the all white look...of course I'd have to change the rubrail to white too.......and then maybe later I'll get a paint job or other graphics......just looking for some advice!

most Fountain graphics are paint not vinyl - I believe imron paint & cleared over. You may want to double check your boat. That's kind of why I added to my somewhat plain design as oppose to starting with a blank canvass.

Its impossible to get that glue off. I've had mine rubbed out and polished 4 times by a very, very good pro, using all sorts of different products, and its still there. I will need to sand and paint to get rid of that stuff.
The vinyl wrap people are doing must really suck. |

My boat is a 2000.
The vinyl on my boat was the name on the side. A total pain. Was on for 3 years, and the glue has still been on for another 2. The factory graphics are all Imron. Still look like new, VERY glossy. The gel coat is starting to lose its shine, although I have a really good detailer polish and wax it every few months. On new Fountains, one can order "vinyl wrap" graphics. That is what must be a mess. I noticed that Shogren bought a 47 with vinyl wrap, ran it for a month or so, then stripped it all off. They would be a better source to understand the impact of the new vinyl wrap concept. For me, its going to be Imron in the future: I am so done with vinyl. |
