I have an 83 Ski Nautique that I have striped the Hull of decals and painted on Strip. The Gel coat has been buffed & waxed, and I great shape. the entire Hull Color is Cream. Prior to starting this project, I thought it would be a matter of purchasing new Graghics, but have not found any available for this year. Checking with a body shop to look into having the strip re painted, I was told as the boat sits on the trailer, it is too big to fit in a typical Spray Booth.. Can anyone offer assistance on where I can turn to continue with this Hull restoration project ? Ideally, I would like to restore it to its original design. if that is not an option, I would settle for Ski Nautique Graphics in a color that would compliment the Cream Gel Coat. Thank-You, Keith |

Keith, Welcome to CCfan. You found the spot for anything related to your 83. The "Ski Nautique" graphic is actually the hull gel showing and the tri-stripe painted around it. I do not know of any available masking to mask off this area. What has been done is the original is traced and then a sigh shop will use it to cut a paint mask. A common brand is a Gerber mask. Unfortunately you can't do this with your boat. Maybe, one of our members can help with tracing their original. Then the tri-stripe is mashed off by hand using Fineline tape. What color was your tri-stripe originally? Rustoleum standard colors (or a combination of standard colors) were used for the paint. How about posting some pictures? We love them!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

   not sure these images loaded as they may not be of the right type. the boat has a Light Red, Medium Red, & Maroon strip, with a thin Gold Strip applied over Paint. If I don't get a member volunteer to provide a Stencil of, would there be an available Graphic from another Model year that could work ? |

The first thing you need to do is remove the wax from the hull sides and transom. Look in Reference/Misc. the transom lettering file might work. Are there any remaining ghost letters still visible on the gel coat ? |
