Poodleish???? :p :evilb: :evilb: :drink:

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

Retro-Modern? :rolleyes:

I just don't know.

I always thought that the lightning thing they did was kind of whacked and fugly.

The above aren't too bad.

Shame, I think they're killer boats that deserve more in the looks department.

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

I agree, Ive never liked the paint scheme's and they're awesome boats. Someone needs to make a call to designs...

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

All kidding aside, I love the look of a Formula. It's a classic design that will last forever. However, I wouldn't like to buy a boat and have 100 other boats out there with the same paintjob. When I was @ LOTO back in August, I must have seen 3 or 4 boats that were exactly like Troutly's boat during the weekend. Not that it's a bad thing, just my .02 :drink:

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

Not digging it but it is an improvment over the lightning boltz.
Didnt like that at all.

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

Looks outdated by 5 years.

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

Absolutely horrible. Way too "busy". It looks like they had no clue what to do so they did that. Sucks.

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

i think its a cheap way of being creative :rolleyes:

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

Is this the painter ?

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

Wow try to sell one of those used in a couple of years. I would order white.

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

They need to go back the "Hockey Stick" theme. :cool:

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

I don't want to ofend anyone, cause I think all boats are cool in there own way, but to me the look like motor home paint jobs.

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

I thought that I read somehwere that The Art of Design was working as a consultant on thier paint jobs starting from last year onwards. Maybe just last year?

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

Hate to say it but I think they look fine. Conservative and modern all at once. I guess I am crazy. Even if you said you don't like them they are still better than most production designs. I really like the blue one.

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

Haven't been a fan of their graphics for the past few years, and I'm not seeing anything to make me change my mind. Like yzbert said, I'd order white. Love Formulas, but man.... :rolleyes:

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

The paint jobs don't bother me as much as the interior. That is just a little to bussy for me. Paint jobs are ok I think.

Brady Bunch looking GAY :D

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

They do look too busy.

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

Solid,great riding boat. Paint is woof!

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

i think we might hurt troutly's feelings... :(

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

they would look alot better with murals on them :p :evilb:

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

troutlys boat looks awesome in person :cool:

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

I would call it different... dont see many other boats painted like that.

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

They are trying,just not in the right direction.Fountain has been improving and seems to be headed in the right direction.

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

Reggie "DiVinci" Fountain.... hands down :D
I think Reggie reinvented the Fountain again or vice versa :drink:
...makes the Formula look like it needs a "beak" :eek:

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

Something fishy about those Formulas.Oh wait . HI Troutly. :eek: :evilb:

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

both fugly.... the last thing i would want is to drop 250-300k and raft up to another one just like mine... :eek: :(

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

I really like Formula's but my cousins old one had the water splash on it, it was pretty cool and basic. This new paint is just too much, and too busy looking. :cool:

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

I love Formulas, and would buy one in a heartbeat....but I would order it solid white.
For the life of me, I could never figure out what they were thinking with their paint. It goes back way before these latest offerings, too. I know I offended someone recently with a "Palm Beach" comment, and it wasn't my intent then, and isn't now but...didn't Formula keep doing the Palm Beach colors long after the rest of the world stopped?
I agree with RonP - the designs always seem to be 5 years outdated when they're new.

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

Just your opinion,but how can you say that Fountains ugly. I dont think
alot of people would agree with you on that one.

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

Very Formulaish...

If Nort would not of said they changed I would not of noticed, they are very nice boats and very very sober.

Mind you having boats with tons of dark graphics like in vogue now looks good on pictures but give me mostly white, I happen to use and hang on my boat a lot and any dark color is boatching hot and to tough to keep looking good

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

like you said, it's my opinion... part of my reasoning is that it is still a production paint job, or gel coat, which means others have your exact boat.... that to me makes it undesirable...

or in this case, that fountain is fugly, i don't care for it at all... the beak doesn't help either.

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

that orange/black/puke stripe coming off the bow....fugly
the whole rainbow of colors on just the stern of the boat......fugly
the blue stripe is cool... but the rest, dump it....

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

Well the deal at Fountain is...you show them how you want it done and it's yours. Custom factory paint. Not like that at Formula :p

Try this one on for size if the other one didn't work :D

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

But alot of manufacturers use prodution paint jobs, including Cigarette.
Wouldnt bother me in least to own one. :D

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

Interesting opinions......

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

Maybe this? :eek:
