Scottie, what color do you need?

Well I dug out my envelope with the stencils and tape from when I redid my striping in 1992. I don't know why I thought I used 3M tape. "The Edge" is made by Finesse Pinstriping Inc.

Pete makes it sound so easy to trace the lettering and take it to a sign shop. Tracing lettering on compound curves is not easy, especially near the windshield where the hull is curving to the bow and from top to bottom the hull has a concave curve. On the early 2001's where the gel is the lettering and there are three different values of a color in the background, it would be hard to line a mask up to it. Remember Gerber Mask is a brand name, not really the best out there. If I was doing the early style, I would use Frisket to mask out the lettering. Frisket is a soft tac stencil material that airbrush artist use. You can see through it and it cuts very easy. You could apply it to the hull, cut the outline of the letters and peel the excess, then mask and spray each color in the background. 3M makes a tape called The Edge that gives a very hard-edge line.

Sorry for the misunderstanding dreaming.Pete that would work.

dreaming i looked at the gerber tape online.its a great idea and the low tack removable adhesive would be ideal but it seems to only come in yellow and is 4 mils thick so how would i see through it to cut my letters out after masking with it?and since its thick i dont believe i could feel the letters because the paint on the hull is very thin.

A gerber mask is a great way to "mask" your original graphics. then you just tape the stripes, spray, and then remove the gerber mask. Albiet time consuming, 3m fineline tape would do a fine job of masking the letters if you didn't want to order a mask.

Tim,   I forgot to include my e-mail from the above request for the 1985 SN gray hull with maroon stripe. Need a price for complete set of hull decals. The ones on there now are gray with a red shadow. Thanks   jfryback@omnisource.com

Tim, can you make the decals for a 77 SN, sides and transom?

Ref - your boat has painted graphics... decals would work, but applying a 3 color stripe and having it look good is going to be time consuming.   I would repaint if it were me( it will be in a couple years).

Tim, I have 1985 Ski Nautique that has a gray haul with a maroon stripe and I am interested in getting a set of haul decals. What is the current price?   and   What other info do you need   Thanks JCF

Hi Tim. Looking to replace the Ski Nautique decals on our 1989 2001 SN. I was able to locate the 2001 decals, but not the Ski Nautique for a 1989, it's a checkered looking decal. Anything that you can assist me with?
