Strike Aesthetics

Like many other boats I have owned, I do not like the graphics that the companies have chosen to brand their boats with. Typically I am able to cover the logos with vinyl sticker art that I find more visually pleasurable, but the Cobra Strike's branding is large and difficult to cover.



 So, I decided to try some larger vinyl.


Im going for the "fire tiger" look and starting with the green.

Ive learned from other projects that a test run is often required and  this was is it.
Started out masking off the section that I wanted to cover then wanted to transfer the tape to the back of the vinyl, trace, and then cut to size.     Nightmare


Second test was just to apply the vinyl from the roll to the boat then cut to shape.
Much better tactic. I did learn that I need to have a partner and a work table not on wheels. Ugh.
Still, it was a successful test and Ill be moving forward, reapplying the green followed by some yellow.
Might use hot air during application to help stretch it over the plastic some and prevent air trapping.



Any help or hints from those with some vinyl sticker experience is welcome and appreciated, but I have learned that this is a project for 2.
