    I think Aquamania is the only team that runs the decals. Mine kind of blend in with the silver, I think it'll have a cool ghost effect when cleared.

    The silver is a lot better looking then the green/yellow color of the full size boat I like the sleekness of the silver but can't beat carbon fiber!!!

    The proboat decals are decent and when cleared over you should not have any issues with them.

    For future reference anyone else wants GEICO decals I have the graphics ready to size to any boat so no real wait time to get them produced!!!
    I am also working on the caveman ones for a few people!!
    lol the Caveman version will be SAWEET!

        Fill the gap with Gulf decals or no?

          I like the gulf decals but maybe a little too busy on the side of the boat

              I was leaning that way too, no decals then. Ben only just shipped my windshield and cat decal today (he had a lot of orders over Thanksgiving), hopefully I can clear it on Monday.

                I've been having mixed feelings about the Turbine Marine Inc decal being silver on silver. So I had an idea to use it as a stencil and use some True Blue Pearl lacquer and hand paint slashes over it. Here's what I came up with:




                Tomorrow I will go over it and remove the remaining decal adhesive and lightly wet sand it.

                I also added 2 tiny decals on the bow and stern... Honor, Guts, Glory

                      I'll have to make it a trademark logo haha


                      Thanks guys, It looks a little nicer in person. I think it'll really come alive once I clean it up.

                          Thanks! I think the FC one looks pretty cool actually lol. Decals should be here at any point. I'll get it cleared either today or tomorrow.
