Default OL factory billet

Hi everybody,
I'm a French hobby rc fast boat fan located near from Nantes in France.
For my new 32 inch hull , I would like to make the paint too close as possible to the factory billet.
I contacted Dean from Taod, but the only answer was to ask me 5000 usd to paint it . Then I'm looking for High quality pictures or draw to try to redraw the design the best as possible or anything else.
Please, is it possible to hlep me.

My 32' waiting for the paint


My last building boat a 17'

They did an exact replica of xxx that is now on display at ocean performance. I believe the 2 boats went together to be painted

Yep, sounds like Dean. If you had painted yours first he'd just copy it anyway.

Cool project. Can you post up some pics when it's done.

What are you using for power, brushless it looks like?

Good luck.
