Doug, HERE"S
the rest of the decals you might need. Like I said, I have most of these, but I'm sure Pauly can hook you up all at once. Let me know if you find everything allright, and yes I can do the Dash Plaques. |

Tim, Thanks for the correction, as always you are wealth of Correct Craft knowledge. Should the AWSA decals be gold background with blue print or the white background with blue print? I'd like to take you up on your offer for the '89 Championship triangle decals. Please let me know how I can make payment to you. Thanks, Randy |

I have a few questions for you guys that redid your pinstriping.
Was each stripe a continuous piece all the way around the boat? or was it broken up as a seperate piece for each side? Where does the pinstripe start/stop, how does it terminate to hide the junction? Anyone do theirs themselves? I'm thinking with a helper I should be able to do it myself, and if not, I'll peel them back off and I'm jsut out the $ for the roll I wasted and a little time. |

Chris,
Yes, each stripe was one continuous stripe all the way around the boat. Be sure to have you swim platform removed. Similar to the factory application, I found the best way to hide conceal the stripe start/stop was at the bow of the boat. Recognize I needed to trim/cut the tip of the stripe at the intersection of the stripe ends. I didn't use a helper, however it helped to unroll the pinstripes in the general direction of application keeping the tape off the floor. I used the ghost outline of the previous pinstripe shadow to exactly match the new pin stripe lay out. Don't peel off too much of the backing until you are sure you can apply the section of pinstripe in a straight line. Also do not apply pressure to the tape until you are sure it is correctly aligned. (I believe most of the manufacturers use pressure sensitive tape). Actually I found the vinyl tape rolls for the boat was easier to apply than the 1/8" reflective pinstripe (e.g. prone to stretch if you are not careful) used on the trailer. I will post photos later today, illustrating the application of the separate pinstripe rolls. Randy |

Thanks Randy. I'm in the final stages of wetsanding so the swim deck and everything else is already removed. I was going back and forth on whether the bow or somewhere on the transom would be better to terminate. I'll follow your advise on using the bow. I expected to have to trim the intersection.

I had someone come over and do mine. They do auto work around town at several car lots and came highly recommended. Instead of the stripes coming on the same roll they had to apply each stripe seperately. I also went about a 16th of an inch bigger in order to help cover up some of the shadow ghosting. I originally thought that you would start at the transom and end there on the other side but that wasnt the case. They joined it up front. Did such a great job that you really cant see it. With the contour of the front of the boat I really dont think that you can start at the transom and end at the transom on the other side. Hope that helps. |

Yea, that helps. I have the stripes on order, and had to get the 1/2" and 1/4" stripes seperate.

Applied all of my decals today finally. Talked the wife into doing the pinstripes for me, she has a much steadier hand for that type work than I do. Everything came out good, still letting a few pieces adhere and dry out some before I peel the transfer film off.

I feel like an ass now because this could do a couple boats, I never looked at the length. Do you think it's really 150'?. I got it from MWCC a couple years ago, shortly before they closed up. I'm going to put it a couple ziploc bags to hopefully keep it fresh. It will be a few years before I do some cosmetics.

The rolls of pinstripe I got were both 150 ft. That was cheaper than two 50 strolls each that I would have needed.
Where did you find the strip w/ both stripes? Older stock? I never could find it on a single roll and had to get them seperate |

Overall height of 1/2” (2mm/1mm pins) is way too short, unfortunately. I believe they were 1” overall (1/2”-1/4”).
