Favorite Boat Colour Schemes?

[Peppy]

I'm on the look out for a new colour scheme for a new boat. What's your favorite? Have any pictures? Thanks!

[Mike]

Well I like aquamarine and teal but that what you got now

I like white red and black in the right boat

Or here's a old one I had fed and white clean and simple

Thanks Mike! Thats a good start! How bout this one for different-



We are still loving the teal. What about teal and red?

[Peppy]

Green and yellow is okay-



We're looking at a baby poo yellow boat, so that'd be perfect. On the subject of green, this one from the boat show's pretty cool-



But to go back to teal and red-



She'd fit right in with the Filthy Oar! Maybe she'd like to go for a rip?

what would mrs peppy say about that  >:(

Good point. Maybe she'd lend Miss Peppy her outfit?

Any auto guys out there with funky interiors?

I live in a parallel universe.  I love color and am undeterred by convention when it comes to combining colors.  In my universe white is tantamount to "primer" and is regarded as the safe haven of the unimaginative or fearful.  My own home is alive with color.  But since I'm in the minority I state my beliefs cloaked in the relative anonymity of the this forum.  ;)

I don't think you can go wrong with classic contrast welting.  I love black, navy, red, and grey.  I love those color paired in any way.  Grey tops with red, white, navy, black welting? YEAH.  Rearrange those colors in any combination and the result will be great.  (see below)

I have a secret passion.  I paint floor cloths.  I love doing them.  I make them to cover the homely sub-flooring in my home and shop.  I use paint and color for cheap(er) laughs.  My shop floor is Advantec OSB subfloor.  I filled the nail holes and cracks between the 4x8 sheets and then primed and painted the surface:

I use whatever paint is cheap at Orange... the "mistakes" of the gutless that I buy for under $10/gallon.  I spend more on the polyrethane than I do for paint.  I loved art and learned the basics of color mechanics and so have a pretty good idea where I'll end up when I begin mixing the leftovers in my "stash".

Sorry for the double picture last night; I wanted to add these as well, but couldn't quite pull it off!

I love those really "hot" neon colors and I'm a total sucker for metallics, too. 

[Peppy]

Thanks Bobbin! I've been thinking about a pinwheel type bimbo pad thing, a'la Fountain.

What about black and pink?

Anybody know how to get thumbnails from imgur?

[Mike]

Bobbin if you look good you can see on the last pic i showed of a sport boat i owned the Hot Water, the boat was red with a center white stripe bordered on each side ofthe white with a naRROW black stripe/  so on the cover i went red with a batvhin gwhite stripe  with black borders on the whit then a white binding around the whole cockpit cover .

I think pink and black could look very cool.  So would pink and grey, or any combination of the 3.  I modified the above post (forgot to add a couple of pix) and I mentioned that I really have a "thing" for metallics, too.

Scroll down the page for lots of pink/black/grey pics.  Kool looking boat.

Mrs. Peppy is liking CMYK. Designer speak for ink colours I think? Here's an idea-

My daughter added herself in green. The blue squiggle is me yelling at her for being in the boat she said.

[Peppy]

Well here's my new boat!



Currently it's the 'Lucky Piece' But that may be subject to change. Same with the colour. Any more inspiration would be appreciated!

[Mike]

nicew is that a stardraft peppy? youl have fun with that , whats on it for power?

what will become of the filthy ore

[Peppy]

Yep it's a Starcraft. 1970's I think. It's got a 75 Merc. It's our mechanics boat. As was the Filthy Oar actually. He may take the Oar back in trade. If not it'll be up for sale. $3000 on a trailer with a 15 Johnson and reams of canvas, if anyone's interested. Buyer responsible for pickup.
