That's nice.  Looks like fresh alloy.

Stones are a pain towing anywhere from Nelson, aren't they.  If I was building a new boat,  I would seriously consider building stone protection into the trailer.

Now you've sparked off more options and decisions Lone Star, thanks, I think. The internal graphics wrap, which I hadn't considered previously could be custom design, colour...and on a well used boat such as mine could transform the internal look completely. ]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:59:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598730&title=vinyl-wrap#1598730 <![CDATA[Vinyl Wrap : Hey Denny Boy it is a silver...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598725&title=vinyl-wrap#1598725 Author: Lone Star

Hey Denny Boy it is a silver wrap.  I wanted to get as close to nyalic/nano-clear look as I could and it has come up really good.  It looks like it has been painted and when it was being fitted out it fooled a lot of people who actually thought it had been sprayed.  I have been toying with the idea of putting stoneguard on the sides from the back of the boat up to the first weld, above and below the rub bar, but that is not cheap that stuff, but I guess it will protect the investment of the wrapping. 
my entire boat wrap (roof, cabin, pontoons, stern, side pockets, seats, bunks) and the decals cost me $3500 - it is the 650 model.

I have just had my new boat wrapped, I do not like the look of alloy once it starts oxidizing and has the water marks staining it, so I ended up wrapping the entire boat - cabin, hull, and all the sides/seats inside.  It has come up fantastic, looks just like a paint job and like mentioned above sections can be replaced in time if required.  I have not really used the boat yet so cannot comment on durability but it has all been edge sealed. 
 
 
Incidentally Lonestar is that a clear wrap on your boat or a silver colour wrap? I wanted a clear on mine but apparently there isn't an option for this in the vinyl wrap. Instead they quoted me a twice-the-price hexis clear film which is self-healing, seemingly fantastic for small dings scratches etc as somehow it mends itself?? ]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:51:30 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598666&title=vinyl-wrap#1598666 <![CDATA[Vinyl Wrap : I really like the graphics on...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598575&title=vinyl-wrap#1598575 Author: Godders

I really like the graphics on the vinyl wrap .how much for a fc430 for just the sides and stern?or does it depend on the graphics?

Had ours done through Brave Designs - they also did the BAF boat. They know what they're doing and did a great job. Definitely the go over paint. In saying that, a bit of rough jetty/rope work has damaged a small patch up front. Will get a replacement bit and sort it. Should be dead easy.
Cheers

Awesome-thanks Lonestar! Believe it or not mine's the same boat just about complete at Senator now so just the timely info I needed. I'm almost sold on this wrap now as the agents actually travel the country to install it. Makes it a lot easier than towing the boat 400 miles there and back to get other types of protection done. Hope you enjoy your Senator, I'm really looking forward to mine. Incidentally what was your all up cost for the wrap?

My boat was painted in 1987. It has bubbles as you note but only where SS fittings were originally put in with no duralac or similar.  No bubbles anywhere else.

Still mint after 3 years, I had a sign company apply wet in my garage for under $500, looked very straight forward, but my boats only 4.5m. There was two vinyl types, can't remember which it was, but I have zero fading after lots of use.

I am considering it as an alternative to paint, as I have some cracking of the gel coat, and apparently if you paint over those cracks, they really appear and loom worse.]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2015 22:30:41 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598267&title=vinyl-wrap#1598267 <![CDATA[Vinyl Wrap : Denny Boy I did the same as...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114154&PID=1598248&title=vinyl-wrap#1598248 Author: Lone Star
