Following on from new sunseeker colour

It appears that princess have also been playing in the colour department..

Bit hard to tell...........

Any chance of a smaller pic? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[pau1gray]

Whoops - hopefully it's better now

 

[mjf]

Oh! they have painted the top bit of the nearby church green

 

[B175Chris]

I think it probably looks quite nice actually...

 

[Nick_H]

Can't understand why they've only painted to the rubbing strake, would look much better to have the whole hull that colour IMO

 

[jfm]

Agree, but I think the reason is that the grp above the rubbing strake is a continuous surface up to the gunwhale, across the top surface, and down the inside bulwarks. So there is no hard edge to take the paint up to, no capping rail or anything.

None of that is insurmountable engineeringwise, but it may be they decided not to adopt any of the availalbe solutions (capping rail= heavy maintence if wood and expensive if s/s. Screwing a stainless strake at the gunwhale = owner mightn't have wanted it aesthetics wise. Just stop the paint with masking tape = best solution imho but owner mightn't have wanted such a "naked" solution)

 

[pau1gray]

Must admit at first sight in the current light it just looks like it's the light that's causing the colour change - but on further investigation it was definately beige. So it did make us all look twice.

 

[Nautorius]

Is this the same colour of Beige that Sessa are using....as I quite like that Colour! Not sure about a flybridge Sunseeker in it though /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Nick_H]

Yes, I see your point, though I think i'd have found a way, cos it makes the boat look slightly top heavy as it is.

 

[jfm]

Yep, in fact I'd have gone for the do nothing option. I'd have masked it 1 inch below the gunwhale and just taken the paint to a masking tape edge, and polished it to remove the "step" burr. Would have looked fine imho

At least they took the paint down to the w/line. No silly white triangle at the bow

 

[RobWales]

Perhaps even a light gold pinstripe added to what you suggested jfm would cure the break between white n cream!

 

[jfm]

Ooh yes, good idea. You must do up old Coasters (Silver Spirits?) in your spare time?

 

[RobWales]

Not that extravagent I'm afraid but did fully rebuild to concourse condition a 1970 Daimler sovereign series 1...

Wish I'd bloody kept it now and not swapped it for a brains out lotus 7 replica.

That's not my cup of tea i can tell you. What about those lovely metallic colours they're coming out in? If i knew how to insert photos i would, but there's some gorgeous looking metallic sky blue, or dark blue and bold red, copper coloured cruisers. Very nice, I say.
