Paint or Not to Paint????
 

Hey all,
Just thought I would get some input since I am on the fence of whether or not to paint the Apache Scout I have.... The soon to be wive loves the barbie boat paint job but I have some other Ideas... I am in the middle of replacing all the wood in it... That is a long story in itself that I can post about later. I am getting close to the point were it makes sense to paint it... Should I paint it or not?????
Please respond with any ideas also... :)
Thanks,
Jr.

Hey Jack ya know what would look killer on that? Ya know how everyone does theme boats. Do that baby as a mini Warpath :cool:


Yes . . . . . i can do the masks :D




Allan4 is a putz! :D

Thats what I was thinking Dave... but the white one :) I do have a feeling you will be painting it!! Thats a little over my head for me... I will stick to the rigging and ... part of it. Gotta know when to say when.. Please come up with some ideas.. No hocky stripes thought, thats to much cig :) Not sure on what paint systems you use but, I would love to do a clear coat over it like the cig... Will talk more..

I like it like it is.

Reminds me of this cig....... :)

Yes and several Apaches I've seen...I like those old school cool designs and colors. :) I wouldn't use those designs on a modern boat but the colors are still in vogue. Remember that Ocean Express cat 'Chasin The Deal'? Cool 3D effect in the design.

I truly do like it but would l love to see an updated design on it.. My only objective is it cant look like a Crayon box thrown up on it... :)

Dave,
This was what I was thinking of.... Keep it simple
I alsor really liked the Chief paint Job also..

I'd imagine if you're going to repaint you'll also be redoing the interior, right???

I voted to keep it original. Mine was repainted before I bought it. I added the logos. It looked really clean but if yours is in good shape I would just leave it
