I know you should put TAZ and some Looney Toons down the side of that Faja.....:mrgreen:
I think the wraps look good and after 5 or so years if it starts to look bad take it off and put another on. Just like that you have a new boat!!! [smilie=trink39]

i would think as long as u arent banging in to everything & scraping the wrap off, its a good way to have a trendy graphics job

Haven't used this company but I did use the vinyl when we did the Gettin Nauti and port of Parkville on the boat. Overlaid purple/yellow for the effect and depth. Matches the interior of the boat and looks like it was done at the factory. Hasn't faded in 3 years. I am sold since you can change the graphics anytime you want.
I assure you, there wouldn't be so many purple, teal and pink Baja's ridin around if the graphics were not in the gelcoat.[smilie=hah] :roll:
Also if you cut/scuff the graphics when you are tied up or docking, it's much easier to repair without bodywork.:mrgreen:

I got mine done in February this year. I like the fact that you can make your boat look like no others, but you do have to be a bit careful with them. They can scratch/tear of course. Cost for a 22' boat was $3-$4k.

Vinyl Images is doing my 50 Nortech, next week, I'm very impressed with their work, will post pics when done, IMO they are the best in the state.

The ones Ive seen in person are Flawless. I stood and wondered how anyone in the world could have painted it, than found out it was a wrap.
Plus it is removable.

I did a wrap last year. Looks great. They do tear or gouge a bit if you ar not careful. I wasnt careful twice! Still looks great and can be fixed or replaced easier than paint.
Road Rage Graphics in Spring Grove, IL did mine. Mike is a great guy to do business with:

Elite: The wrap on the trailer makes it look like a completly diffferent trailer!!
Really, that is a sharp wrap. It has a fade in the background color, right. Please confirm. Didn't know they could do that.

That is why I went all white on my boat. I figured I could or the next person could wrap it if they wanted some color.

A good friend of mine is the Oakley rep for the kansas area, and some of Missouri, he just got his new mastercraft X-star rapped last week I think it looks good! The only thing I don't like is in the back where the transom and the side's meet you can see the seem, part of that is becaues the graphic is so random their was no way to line it up, but other than that it looks cool, and it only took a couple hours star to finish, something you can't say about a paint job....

It does have a fade and shadow. It is really awesome.
Plus if I screw it up, they peel it off and print a new one. Or I can change graphics or when I change boats, have them print the same one.
