Help Choosing Paint and Graphics Colors

[Pattle]

I am restoring my old square nose. I want to modernize the looks of it, since it is also getting an RRP handlepole. It is currently all white with minimal black decals. I think what I want to do now is all black with an IPD graphics kit in blue and white. However, I'm having a hard time picturing that, and also wondering if my non-creative brain is missing out on a better look. I also need a new turf color - I'm leaning towards a dark gray.

Let me know your ideas. Also, you folks that have recently painted/decal'd your skis: any regrets or 2nd thoughts on your choices afterwards?

Modern will look old in a year, embrace the vintage superjet, LOL

Once I finis the glasswork on my js swap it's getting painted like this:

but with a black bottom.

You could do something similar to the Rickters.
I agree with the vintage look though. Can’t go wrong

This guy has quite a few nice graphics kits. I just put an order in for a full complement of colors for my rebuild. He's good for being right on the ball with responding to emails too. I'm just waiting for my kit to arrive now

Yeah, I ran across their website and looked at their decal kit for the original OEM graphics on my ski. Looks ok, just no flair, and since I'm going with AM handlepole and footwells, I feel like I might as well modify the color scheme as well.







This IPD kit is closer to what I think I want.

I am telling you right now do not care; OR go for those 91 yellow/grey graphics. You will forget the second you see that sweet big boat wake

 

[mikidymac]

For old school OEM I would go with this before the gray and yellow, never cared for the yellow.

I have the yellow 90 and 91 colors that I really don't care for. The 94 and 95 colors really stand out.

By the way, here is a picture of what the ski looks like now.

I like it as is...Rrp pole, fresh turf and footholds will make it look sweet

Have an sn with those graphics and it is a good looking oem graphics package

l definitely like the plain look on some skis! But on this new SJ,take the waverunner decal off of it or put a seat on it

l checked out the Pwc Graphics website.Seen his stuff before.But no FX graphics? Maybe just not enough need?

Rattle can and jetmanaic stickers is all you need. Or just turf over the whole the thing.

I just received my graphics kit from pwcgraphics and it looks really good. I went with his Cardinal red, the online color patch doesn't do it justice. It's a much brighter red and really looks good. I'm looking forward to the spring when I can work on my ski again in some heat, it's going to look really nice with this new decal kit
