C Spray...I had several lost posts here also. I commented how I liked your boat better than most of the new stuff! The paint from the late 80's/ early 90's was the best!!!

This is just because I can't remember what was in my other post on this thread! :D

You were telling me that you'd give me $250k for my boat when I'm ready to sell it in 7 years...

Nort - That's Flagship Silver pearl, straight from Formula at $$$ per gallon. Same stuff they use on the SS and PC models.

Hey Chuck!

The new paint looks AWESOME! Say hi to The Admiral for us! :drink:

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

As long as it comes with those special #9's and a lightly used enzo. :D
I recognize the color from the cruiser lines. Good choice!

Dash is not "painted" ... it is red carbon fiber.

Troutmeister,

I was referring to the cockpit upolstery being too busy. The yellow/orange/red combo just doesn't do it for me. I also have the all white cockpit on my 382.

i think they look "cookie cutter" or non-technical. they dont make good use of the lines of the boat. just my .02 cents

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

Second this one! Really nice, clean, unique. Looks great!

"Torch" amongst my top five also. :cool:

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

How can you compare those 2 paint jobs. Fountain paint is OK, not great. The actual design (the lines) are up-to-date. The Formula stuff is just bad. Cigarette has been the nicest lately, I think.

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

It is? That would be nice. I like the all white interior too.

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

Whoa......I really don't like that one.....but that's just me.

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

Formula's paint is applied in-house. VERY nice booth facilitites and great people, most of them women. TAoD advises in the layout and templates, but John Adams has the ultimate say. Given the problems I went through in getting my all-silver paintjob done, I wish that I had sent it to TAoD as soon as it left the factory. (Formula is too busy to do any custom wrok at the plant.)

When you say you like what Cigarette is doing - much (but not all) of that is TAoD...

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

Yes, but did you see them all at the same time? Troutly moves around a lot, and when he's facing the other way it looks like he's wearing a sweater. Could have all been the same boat.

This ain't quiet no more.....It rattled my neighbors windows four houses up.

I've never liked the magenta in the palm beach graphics (Outlaw is an 89'), and am planning on painting over the magenta with yellow until I can afford to have the boat painted white.

Nort: I love the look of your boat, I think there is beauty in "simplicity"...

I thought the "Infared" graphics were okay, but I have not liked much of Formula's paint over the last four or five years.

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

Formula needs to look at what Sunsation does with their graphics. Of course, Sunsation has a ringer in the form of MitcherT, but for what the Porters get for their boats I'm figuring they could bring in a talented free agent...

Don't forget the graphics on the FasTech 482!!! :drink: :drink: :D :D

Nort, still got the photo of the "top secret Formula 586" or whatever it was? :D

Mario Lemieux was a pretty good hockey player.

Did they change the way the dash panels are? The "switch" area looks different from mine.......

Re: What do you call the direction of Formula's paint designs lately?
 

No.

You're not thinking of getting another one, are you Nort?
