Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

I would try to match either the interior accent colors, if any, or the canvas color you go with....im using black on my enclosure, so the stripe will be black....and I know ill regret maintaining it....ice blue would be my second choice, the pastels seem to hold up better than the darks..

Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

Glad to see you out working on the boat again, I had been wondering. I would stick lighter color, as the blues reds and black get hazy pretty quick. My friend has a 12 year old boat that he bought new with blue gel coat which developed a chalky white haze at about year 6. Two years ago he sent it out to be buffed and although it is better it still not great. As far as I am concerned the only colors for a boat are white or off white. Looking forward to more progress. Have a great evening.

Mike

I like the blue, but it is more likely to fade then yellow.

Perhaps a double, wide pinstripes/accent stripes following the hull lines just above the rubrail.....

Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

I was hoping to be able to post some results...however mother nature has not cooperated and barely got to 60 most of this past week...I did get a few materials and hope to have some progress soon....weather permitting...

Meanwhile I got started on the spring cleaning...
