canopy accent trim
 
1 Attachment(s)
I'm looking for some ideas for my canopy's. I took them off to be polished and while I have them off I was wanting to paint a accent strip They are on a 36 foot Eliminator and not being very creative, I thought I would ask for some advice from that are more creative.

If you have pictures of your boat please post pictures please. Thanks

With all the colors you have on that boat any one of them would make a good accent, Maybe even combine two, one over the other with 1/8" or 1/4" stripes on the edges. I also think the "sun Visor" effect on the front of the canopy is a cool look. I would think one of the boat wrap companys cold make you a nice accent combo that would be removable if needed/wanted.

Having nothing on my canopies is the best!
Some people have a painted top or edge line but to me that just gets in your sight line and really doesn't add any real visual appeal.

The first three pics are what it looks like now. The last is the old canopies before I bought the boat.

Just my .02

i painted the tops of the canopies on a customers 36 Skater and they came out great. Its actually pretty tricky to get them just right. Even at this amount of capping it still scrunches down your field of vision. Do them in tape first and sit in the seat to check visibility. Cool affect when done properly, you really have to do it by eye to get them flow across the top.

heres a pic of the example David sent me and a shot from the nose of his 36. I'll dig out some better pics
