Default Paint

boat is at the paint shop getting sanded and ready for paint. Trying to decide what to do for graphics. I like the logo on the back as I have it now but also like the look of the big green eye's on the side (really big). Also need to decide what to do on the deck. Has a very cartoonish panther on it now. I could put the eye's on the deck and the Pantera lettering?? thoughts? boat is staying yellow.

I'd modernize w/ some black w/ green striping to match the pantera logo and cockpit colors.
Also, get some new graphics for the fairing.

Wait... which way is the boat now?
standup w/ windshield or sitdown w/ fairing?

Yeah sorry - its a little confusing. Sit down interior is solid white with the fairing.[IMG][/IMG] is on thought.

That's pretty cool. Then leave the sides bare.

I agree with Stormrider. The deck graphics look good. Leave the hull sides blank except move the oval hull logo back, closer to the transom. Re-do the fairing also. IMHO for some reason Pantera's look better with less. e-manmotorsports.com/ in Niagara Falls has the fonts and eyes dead on to the original graphics. That's who did mine last year.

Sometimes less is more.

yes - I agree - moving the logo's aft and sides will be bare. Can't wait!

Another idea to throw out there. What about going back to an all black wind fairing like the original and going with the green "Pantera" font on the front and something similar like my 24 Sport on the sides of the fairing? From the pics it doesn't look like the yellow fairing matches the yellow gel. All in all I think the simple black and green graphics go very well with the yellow. Gonna look hot! Keep this thread up.

I agree with the less is more sentiment.
Yellow sides with the logo at the rear.

I agree, also it's tough to tell if the side vents are white or chrome but you may want to spray paint them black so they flow better
