there's only two colors to paint a boat, white and black...anyone who paints a boat black is crazy


The all white boat thing is boring....

what about a reflective mirrored coating, or wood grain, or hawaiian shirt material, or clear coated carbon/kevlar, anything other than boring old white gel coat.

I toyed with doing something really differient, like a wood grain veneer in the mold, but never pulled the trigger.

Peter Johnstone painted his HT a silver with a slight fleck, that was really neat looking.


Bill - have you seen the Chromaveil products? They're some sort of printed fabric/substrate that you include in the lamination for, what appears to be, a really wild exterior finish. There are some other sites where people are talking about application experience with it. It appears, however, that it doesn't work well with in conjunction with dark colored fabrics (carbon).
