Old friend Reincarnated
« on: July 18, 2018, 12:28:24 PM »
I recently acquired a pile of unlimiteds. They need some work, but this one was good to go. The problem is all the black CF gets so frick'n hot. I wanted to paint them white. I thought about a few different  color schemes and graphics, but one kept coming back to me. The original design I had on my old Hobie unlimited that is no more (show with me paddling it 20 lbs ago). So I went with it. It was a quicky and needs some touch up, but it'll probably never happen ;D
Still trying to locate some Hobie logo stickers, which are now hard to find. I came up with an idea as to how to retain the original graphics.
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Right on! Masking the logo I bet was the longest part of the job.

Actually, it looks like TD painted over the original vinyl logo, then peeled it back to reveal the CF.  Totally diabolical! ;D
