Great work on making that boat original again. Obviously the PO had a problem with the Raspberry color....

Okay I think this thread needs to go into the resto refurbish thread...much more than a small project.

Thanks, it's what I had laying around. When I actually get to the finishing I will be doing it right.

For the life I me I wasn't a fan of the raspberry, felt like it was a little too "90's". But after all this work I really am quite fond of it.

Question for the group:

What are the thoughts on pinstripping?

I am struggling with the patches that run through all three colours of gel coat and how I am going to be able to do that in a patch. (see picture)

My thought was that I could probably do white gel on top and blue on the bottom and meet them in the raspberry colour.

Then hide the area where they join under a discrete grey pinstrip.
