2008 Triton Rehab

FD, my  top cap too is toast and you can feel the metal flake.  I like the idea of just doing a wrap for the top cap above the rub rail.  Gonna have to look into that at one of our local shops who do wraps.  I have no idea what that would cost but could really make the boat look better.  I have been wondering if the Pro Tech Nu Paint treatment might do the job vs a wrap treatment.

Bud I tried several treatments with limited success.  They look better for a few months but the fading always returns. You can have new gel coat sprayed on but that is even more expensive than a wrap.

The first draft of the wrap mock up came in yesterday. I'm not completely thrilled with it and not sure why. 

Any ideas?

The red throws if off for me. I think if that were black it be more eye appealing. Nothing stealth about red.

It's quite "busy" for my taste, I think those colors can be made to work in a "quieter" scheme.

It would probably look better in an actual wrap but I think it might be just a little too much of the snow camo theme. Hard to say though. Love the name.

It's hard for me to say what you might like Lee. I'm a Blue & Green kind of guy, so I like those colors and shades while you may not.

The Snow Camo would not be my choice, but it might be perfect for you. Having it both Inside on the Seadek and outside on the Boat might be an Overload on your eyes. Or it may be Perfect once you see it for real.

I do agree with Barry that something about the Red in the Lettering caught my eye almost immediately as being "off", although I can't say why.

A Question since your boat was already White, Does the Sun reflect off of it into your eyes as you fish? Something I've always wondered about with the Bright Sun we get here.

I have to agree with others that it is a bit too busy for my taste.  I wonder what it would look like with the wrap only being above the rub rail.  The printed graphics would be a lot easier to read and things like registration numbers would be more visible.  I would also have to ask what is the color/design of the sea dek.

I agree with Barry, Oldfart and Fred...

That concerns me a bit.

Round 2.

Kryptek. The license to use it is only $10.

I think the black in the camo is distracting away from the lettering.  What is more important to you?  Do you want people to notice the camo or the lettering on the side?  Could you maybe go to a larger pattern camo and get rid of the black entirely?

It could also just be that the red lettering is not dark or dense enough to make it stand out against such a strong camo pattern with black in it.  It appears as though the lettering isn't anywhere near as dark as the trailer it's trying to match.

[apenland01]

Much, much better!  That black is just so dominating....

[Capt. BassinLou]

I'm in agreement with the guys here as well. The pattern (too me) appears too chaotic, and the red doesn't appear congruent with the pattern.

The original white, when it was clean and waxed, which was almost never, was extremely bright.

This looks much better!!

[Capt. BassinLou]

I was just posting when the new picture was posted. My bad

[apenland01]

Same to me, I was posting and he put up the picture the new picture lol......

[Bud Kennedy]

The new picture is much much better.  I like it a lot.  I think that would be a good choice

Bud see post 46. The Seadek in that pic is what I'm using.

The shading used in kryptech looks good. Much better than original.

Round 3.

I may be going back to red in the logos just to match the accent color in my seat.

Still undecided.

The 2nd option is the best out of the 3. Imho.

[apiazza]

I like the red font on the Kryptek

Round 4

This one I like!

Now the question is about the motor cowling and poles.

Try a red camo on the engine to tie the trailer and the boat together. Just a thought.

[Oldfart9999]

FD, you are the one who has to live with the color scheme so you should go with what you want.
