Does anyone have any ideas for some graphics for my GSE? I was thinking about a silver pinstripe at the top of the yellow two tone. Because of the two tone its hard for me to figure out what to do. Any one ever seen a GS with some graphics on?PIcs. Also on the black wing i was thinking od a wavey checkered flag look that starts larger and ends aft with smaller checks. Any ideas would be great!

when i did one of my boats that i restored and then sold, i went and bought some different striping that was cheap. (shucks) i put it on a small area of the boat and different one the other side. looked at both and then took it all off and tryed something different till i got what i liked. only cost $35 for trial and error. then went and bought the good stuff from a body supply shop, (3M) and took my time instaling it. theggod stuff wont shrink back and curl up like the cheap stuuf does. you can also have some large vinyl grafics made for your flag theme over the black.. do a search for vinyl grafics. just my .02

Thanks for the advice.:thumbsup: I got some 3m and did a silver stripe above the yellow and a wine colour above that. it turned out good. I went to the local graphics shop and bought some vinyl stripping. It was 3m also. Ill post some picks when I down load from the camera later today.

Don't go too crazy, that boat looks beautiful the way it is !!:cheers::iagree:I know that was my dilemma! This is what I did. very subtle just to contrast the yellow from the white.
