Maybe we're on different lines then, I was thinking of the american airbrush jobs like you see on skaters, cigarettes etc, too many colours for me!
Thanks for airing the idea though, just not the one for me!

That's the plan!! Often the tinkering is the best bit for me (and generally the most successful!)

Just that, it's a graphic wrap. Bloomin expensive compared to me painting it though, especially with the prices over here, which is why I'm ruling it out.

Jacques - I like the white too, but not the red stripe. I want to get rid of it which is what's causing the indecision!

Good morning!
I would take orange as reason-color, RAL 2002
Then, I would do a silvery strip over the deck alongside.
I would make the torso-contours also for Siber.
If done the boat-name we in gloomily blue then it looks super hotly.
If you want to take 2K, clear varnish does 3 situations over everything again.
You have a deeper shine and a better UV protection then

Another side of me wants to rub her right down and re-gel in white, but I'm not sure I can be arsed with all the dust.

Another side wants to sort all her cracks etc, then paint in 2k, the question is, what colour?? I quite like the idea of black, perhaps called 'midnight express'? Other than that, I like white, red, yellow and purple, though not all at the same time!! She's gonna be in a marina so I'd epoxy/antifoul the bottom to stop bubbling.

Any ideas at all welcomed regarding what I should do, colours, methods, or anything at all really!

Cheers!

James
James, Its easy...
Paint it pink and call it Jacques hammer...that should do the trick,,
The only stress cracks will be on a certain persons face......lol

Pain - Thanks for the pic, glad you're finished boats come out better!!
I like the idea, not too sure about the oval bit though, love the orange!!

Tony - Sounds like a plan! Sophie would definately like the pink!!

Orange is cool!
I have done my Cat orange, comes super!
In particular, there is the orange as good as no boats is.
I could not do that with the strip on the computer better.
But the contrast, orange / silver comes super.
Then the writing gloomily blue!
You can also work with foils in the meantime super.
We stick much foil.
From 2m removals, you can't see be not varnish that is.
