vinyl wrap? decals removed

[Aswaff400]

just removed the decals on the boat, considering having a wrap done...

before


removed decals and stripes


and here's kinda what the graphic will look like, havent decided on the colors yet, thinking black hull sides with silver accents, or silver sides black accents, or navy blue with silver accents...

 

what do you guys think? its a helluva lot cheaper and easier than paint and a plus side is its not permanent

Navy w/silver...my vote!

I agree,just never been a fan of black on a boat,when tha salt dries it shows up to much.

wraps are a easy and cheap way to go and if you don't like what you pick you can always switch it in a year or so

How do you remove the decals? I need to do that in my 87 170. Any suggestions or tips?

I got a quote to wrap my 250CCP with plain old fighting lady yellow--gunnel to waqterline with aquasport logo to replicate whats on it now-----$4000.

Needless to say, I didnt do it.

Actually the best tool for removing vinyl graphics is...  an vinyl graphics eraser.  you can used them in a drill but the best tool is a special geared down air tool built just for this use.    These things take off the vinyl film and adhesive in one step without damaging the paint or gel coat.  3M is the best one but here are a few links:

ive decided to back out of having it wrapped for now, talked to a few of our mechanics today, they said just paint the boat, they show me boats they've done with the "roll and tip" method on and they look damn near like gelcoat for less than 200 bucks in supplies and 3 days labor... heavily considering this now... gonna check with one ov my parents friends that does paint/gel and glass work see how much he'd charge me as a side job...

so far after 3 quotes, im 95% towards painting the boat, i now a guy that knows a guy  

3 different prices ranging from 1500 to 2800 bucks  

this is almost the color im leaning to... and this boat sure is sexxxaayyy in person 8)
