Reply to: Stripe kits for Hobie 16?

Message body

[quote=PurdueZach][quote=solsailer18]If you got a Quote for $200 to do both sides in the configuration you want, I would buck up and pay.  Striping is not hard on a short flat surface but without technique and practice, it's next to impossible on a long curved surface.  If you want it to look factory, have a professional do it.  If you want it close but not quite,then forget the narrowing and curves and just lay it out following the patterns from the original and terminate them at the bow with an angled cut that matches the boats lines.  You'll get roughly the same effect and save yourself the vulgarity excersise.

Oh yeah, and do not paint on those stripes.  If you can't lay out vinyl tape in a straight line then you can't mask off the stripes for paint any better.  Just my .02Edited by solsailer18 on Apr 09, 2013 - 01:55 PM. [/quote]
I'll be working off the original lines that are fairly pronounced. I assume laying vinyl or laying tape in order to paint would be fairly straight forward.

If its going to cost me $200 for some darn hull stripes then I just won't worry about it....[/quote]
