looks good! But I prefer the sick colorful paint... without the big invoice though...

I think it looks classic and slick, I have a cousin that all his toys are black and white, including his helecopter.:D

Had a '93 27 Fountain. This is quite a change in paint scheme from my traditional colors (red and black) and Fountain at the rear of boat. I do like the graphics. You'll enjoy the boat - had mine 9 years.

Very nicely done. I would have to agree with a few others here that I "myself" would like to see another "accent" color added into the existing artwork. But then again, that's just what I like.Everyone needs to have what ever they like on their boat, and not worry about what other people would do.
I just thought about suggesting another accent color in there to brighten up and show off the primary stripes a little better. Otherwise, job well done.:D

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I used Awlgrip, and actually bought three colors in the beginning. I was going to use red, black, and silver, but eventually decided to just go with the jet black. There's a fine line between painting it jet black and looking like you just got lazy and painting it jet black and making it look right. And, you get to deal with all the peculiarities of using jet black paint (EVERYTHING shows). That's why so much time went into the prep, and the changing of the lines. And why I'm curious to see what everyone's opinions are.

I'm happy with it, and I'm glad I decided to use just one color (even if I did have to eat two quarts of Awlgrip :o ) Then again, I've always got 'em if I decide to go back and do a little changing.

It ought to match the platinum finish dash panel and carbon fiber/chrome gauges about to go in. :cool: That's the next order of business.............pics to follow.

I Think it looks nice, clean and simple, timless. Good job
Enjoy the boat.

Needs more chrome and flames!!!:evilb:

Looks pretty cool. I lucked out and found a boat with the graphics I wanted. Wish I had them down the middle on the foredeck too like some of the newer boats.
