I decided on replacing all white areas with carbon silver/grey. Everything that was Black will now be done in red carbon. Everything that was red will now be black. So it will be primarily Silver with Major accents in red and the smaller accents in Black. I picked out a cool graphic for the side of the boat from racelinedigital.com that is a tribal flame in primarly red with silver shadows. The Velocity logos on the boat are in black so all of the graphics on the outside should tie in nicely to the interior.

I agree with your choice to go with one major color and two secondary colors. Too often people try and go with 4+ costrasting colors and it just doesnt look right when it is done. An exception to that seems to be when going from shades of gray to black, or blues. There is another color between White and the Silver carbon fiber, called Pearl. There is also a Charcoal color that is between Black and Silver. If you want a chart, I can e-mail one to you.

I actually had a physical chart @ home. That was my problem I had too much time to sit and think about it with the colors in hand..... I looked at the pearl carbon, but I didn't like the way it look in the sun. The charcoal color was a choice of mine with a different scheme. I am happy with my choices now. its all at the shop anyway so too late to change my mind....

Below are the 3 colors For the Interior.


Here are 2 of the designs that I think will look good on the hull. I have all winter to look around and decide. These two are from racelinedigital.com.

Great colors, always my choise. Had a 22' VELOCITY with light gray and red piping and a 26' Velocity with light gray, charcoal, and red. Easy to keep clean. Bob

I am still a bit uneasy going with ALL Carbon patterned Vinyl. So once the shop gets all of the material in, they will call me so I can look at the material on a larger scale. I can lay it over a seat and get a better idea of what it will really look like. Even after that I will have him do one seat first so I can see the end result. This way if I don't like it (it will still cost me some $$) I can still change it before I am in it for thousands.... I am one of those maticulous bastards that likes to do everything myself and if not done by myself it is seldom up to my standards....... Most of my friends think I am slightly OCD (obsesive compulsive). Which is probably true......

I can't wait to see the first seat!! I am also going to have the seat pedistals powder coated Silver to match the new vinyl (currently they are white). I will also be having the front and rear grab handles powder coated the same translucent red as the gauge bezals and steering wheel. I will most likely respray the fiberglass lower side panels a silver color to match the vinyl as well. Currently they are white as they are in most Velocities.
