Picking my new toy up tomorrow evening now, what a nightmare this has been!  Credit card is buring a hole in my pocket, not sure what to buy first!!

Make it purple/green "flip" type metallic paint, and you've got a "winner".

Bit like the purple one on the Harken stand at the Dinghy Show back in March? Metallic purple paint, adjustable everything, depth sounder etc.

I loved that boat - I thought the fit out was superb.  I think it was done by Bov?  If I had the cash, I would be very tempted to get him to fit out my next boat.

It needs a stupid quantity of layers of first paint and then laquer to do a good flip paint job - and it is a complete git to repair any paint chips

I short - It looks good and weights a tonne right up until bits of it fall off at which point it looks horrific and weighs slightly less

When you find a big kettle of crazy it's probably best not to stir it - Pointy Haired Boss

Thus, it is so very much a pimp job, not a bimble.

If we take this subject seriously........there is a  company in Congleton who print  "carbon fibre" stick on vynil in a variety of  garish colours as well as black.  Ultimate pimp? PM me for details should you be interested! Discretion guarenteed!
