Think metal flake is just for bass boats? Think again, http://www.offshoreonly.com/articles...uiser-bling.\\

From the OSO home page.

i'm not a crazy paint job guy, i know they are tough to do, alot of extra- extra, planning, prep, time, money and so forth,
and there are a few that i do like, ben perfected paint job is unique and very detailed, obviously the vice theme, and the revolution paint job where i still think was the end all and about as far as paint should go. (my opinion)

this is nice, fits the boat, and in gel hits a home run,
hope there will be a follow up story w/ plenty o pics.

Very nice. Especially like the subtle elliptical shape to the 'saw blade', more aggressive look.

There needs to be a resurgence of metal flake in the boating world, especially high performance segment. I'll take a simple metal flake accent graphics over a custom painted Jackson Pollack graphics job any day.

^^^^^^^^ I agree and with all the diffferent flakes and ice pearls it can be fun. The effect never shows up in pictures like person.

Now I don't want to go back to the full flake job boats though.

It's come a long way since the early 80's when I owned this ski boat

To the glass guys out there, is metal-flake very hard to do?

Definitely will do a follow-up story for speedonthewater.com and—most likely—a near future issue of our digital magazine.

You're welcome, of course, Chad. I a great time interviewing you and your father. Looking forward to the follow-up pieces on the finished product.
