[quote=Headhunter]that's pretty rad. keep the pics comming!
[quote=DanBerger]It is the 'Sublime' color from the 70s Hemis. I got it in Awlgrip--they didn't have it, so they made is especially for me (supposedly).
I used the West Marine non-skid tape, but I will probably paint it on in the future. I wanted to get a good idea of what I wanted before it was permanent.
This is what I did:
I started with a 12" strip at the front beam. The following segments are 1 inch less each. I picked some angle that looked right and copied it down the hull. I used making tape to put a 1" spacer between segments. I actually miscalculated and should have started with a 13" segment, but it actually worked out much better. When we got down to a 1" strip, we decreased the gap to 1/2". We moved the first 1" strip to midway between the adjacent strips and it worked out perfectly.
I have to thank my friend Jason and his wife, Monica for the suggestion to move that one piece--it made all the difference in the world.
I'm going to paint a strip from the front beam to the bow. Pictures coming soon
If you paint your boat that color--you owe me a quarter. Copyrights, y'know.[/quote][/quote]
