Pinstriping (replacement)

[mametron]

I've got a '88 Bayliner Capri is good condition... Only problem... The pinstriping has worn off in areas from docks, etc. I can remove the pinstriping (hours and hours), but would like to know where I can purchase new pinstriping rolls in various colors, etc. Anyone know of a good internet site selling pinstriping made for marine use?<br /><br />Thanks!!

Re: Pinstriping (replacement)

If you wanted to replace them with exact replacements you could call a bayliner dealership and they will have the part numbers for them. (if still in stock) and use the wifes/girlfriends hair dryer to heat a little to pull off. Then a little acetone to wipe old glue off. There may be better products (safer) to take off glue. But thats what I did. I also used my heat gun as the wife wouldn't know what a hair dryer looked like

How are you coming with the removal? I'm going to do this also. How exactly are you getting those darn stripes off?

Off the topic, Your Capri doesn't have the L-Drive does it.(Outboard motor mounted inboard). If you do, I'd seriously consider selling it. I believe they put them in the 88-89 series. I had one and had nothing but problems. Once it went bad it stayed bad. You'll probably have to sell it to a private party. No dealerships here would take it on trade until I agreed to buy a brand new boat. Hope you don't , but good luck.<br />sean

Got a 1974 Grady White with original boot stripes. I tried "Anti-Bond 2015 Debonder" from the boatersworld catalog. Really does the job. A 1.5 oz pump bottle is about $8 and should be enough to do a complete boot stripe. I sprayed mine on, waited a few minutes and began peeling off 2 1" stripes. Came right off. It also disolves old caulking so be careful it doesn't run down the side of the boat to any thru hull fittings.
