Striping

Ian

Greetings. Time to redo the striping on my 2003 FV310. As per the pictures below it's a navy blue with gold and I want to replace like for like. I found at GLS the narrow https://greatlakesskipper.com/rinker-242-270-310-330-green-gold-leaf-1-inch-x-150-ft-vinyl-marine-boat-pinstripe-decal-tape-roll-vs913605-01-gr  but in green, not navy. The navy they have is https://greatlakesskipper.com/rinker-218191-navy-blue-metallic-champagne-1-3-8-inch-x-300-ft-marine-boat-pinstripe-decal-tape-roll-5758-01 not the right width and as champagne, that appears to be a duller gold. So:

a) Does anyone know a source of these - navy with gold in the 2 widths?
b) As it comes in a 150-300' roll perhaps someone has some left over that they would like to sell.
c) If I need to buy the rolls, anyone else looking for similar to split? Cost not the issue but use of the remainder. I can;t see me making use of the other 75' - 200' after doing mine and it's not a regular replacement item.

I need the same but could not find it. So I decided to go with a solid navy blue and add a second 1/4 inch stripe on the bottom. I chose a grey stripe

I recalled reading another thread where someone found a match.. Not sure if this is the same as what you need, but look this over:

Our stripes were toast - so we stripped them off.  We haven't replaced them - kind of like the clean look without them, at least for now.

i believe i have some left over of this. Ill check this weekend at my shop and advise. I purchased the gold leaf striping and navy blue striping on my 270 fv. Came out like factory new.

Not what you're asking, but we have an '03 342 and we took all of the stripes off of ours and it looks much better (to us).  It looks less dated.  You may consider removing your current and leaving it for a while and see whether or not you like it without stripes.

Well what did the gelcoat look like under the stripe????

After waxing, you have to get really close and have good light to see any ghosting.  We also removed the lettering for 'Rinker' and '342 Fiesta Vee.'  We may or may not add those back, but we're not going to replace the stripes.

WoW! Really changes the look.

Do you have any other different angles to show us?

 Our 246 had the liberty edition graphics, which I peeled off, along with the "Captiva 246" graphics. Made it look 100% better IMO.

It does look good but I have mixed feelings.

I’d like to see a full side view of it to see if it would look to plain. I like it in the pics but a full view from the side might look different 

Will take some more pics this weekend.

I agree. It looks sharp without the stripes, but the stripe adds a pop of color to a white hull.

How did you take it off.
Just heat gun and plastic scraper?
My section on the bow has some bad spots.

The guy that did our wax job took off the stripes.  The other stuff we took off with a razor blade and a 3M rubber wheel (like an eraser) that attaches to a drill.
