Paint or Vinyl, What would you choose?
You want to spruce up your boat with some new colors, The paint you have either needs some TLC or is just plain, or outdated. Do you spend all the money to have it painted or do you do something like vinyl graphics and wrap the whole boat. Remember vinyl graphics offer as much creativity as paint at usually a fraction of the cost.

My husband is an ex-autobody guy so I voted paint. We copied a scheme from a boat a few years back and painted out Stinger.
While the graphics are unlimited, so is painting (not sure on the cost personally, guess it depends on what you put on the boat) and repairs are not difficult at all.

Depends on age and size of boat. I'm going to vote paint but in some instances I would choose vinyl.

I would go vinyl for the cost savings, almost zero design limitations and far less down time.
Is it the '84 Scarab in your avatar? If not, post a pic of the boat in question.

It is the 84 scarab. Here is the design I am looking to go with. This would cost a fortune in Paint. Considering I have the ability to do the design myself, The vinyl cost simply comes down to a cost per square foot for the material and installation. And...... I dont have to remove the existing blue on the boat currently, I can go right over it with the vinyl!

I like the thought of vinyl, which come resale time, could be easily changed by the new/potential buyer, especially if you do a crazy vinyl job, that some will not like. ALso many like the all white look, which obviously could be done by removing all the vinyl.
