Need some help... small stripe instead of N stripe

[zigs]

I have a 01 super air currently white primary color with a black N stripe. Boat was in a minor accident and now the gel coat is getting redone from the rub rail down. I am wanting to do black for the primary color and getting rid of the N stripe and doing the small stripe in white, but I cannot seem to find the dimensions of the stripe anywhere. Unfortunatley there are no super airs, that I know of anyways, anywhere near me so I could take some measurements or even just trace it out. I was hoping maybe somebody knows where I could get or find the dimensions or even if someone could send me some really close up pics of it I should be able to get it.

RE: Need some help... small stripe instead of N stripe

Since you say that you're "wanting" to do black for the primary, sounds like you haven't done it yet. So get your gelcoat guy to do a template before starting the new gelcoat.

I am wanting to change the stripe though and get rid of the N stripe so I dont have anything to make a template from thats what I need or am at least looking for. Here is my boat now and here is what I am wanting to change it too other then the black deck. [/img]

Gotcha....I thought you were wanting to do a pinstripe outline of the N instead of having it in the gelcoat. It wasn't clear that you wanted to pinstripe it like a newer model.

So when you say pinstripe. Is that second pic just a pinstripe?? Or is that in the gel coat?? I was assuming it was in the gel coat but I have never seen one like that in person so I am not sure.

It is in the gel. BKH

I would drive to a dealer or a person that has the pinstripe /gell patter your talking about.

Then I would take the semi clear sticker backing. (this is the white sticky paper that lots of die cut come with)

It comes in roll's about 24 inches wide. Take a roll and roll it down each the side of the boat. You will need to overlap the rolls so that you can get the whole side of the boat.


The sticky paper is semi clear so you will be able to clearly see where gell pattern is.
Use a pen and trace where the stripe go's.

Roll the sticky paper back up or onto the contact paper. You will then have a pattern of each side where the gell stripe go's

You can then lay it back out onto your boat and register it in the correct place. You can use the rub rail as a way of regestration (orintation) where the strip will lay

Well I've called correct craft and left email's with no call backs or responds to email's, and cannot find a boat with that stripe anywhere near me to trace out. I know its a long shot, but if anyone with one would like to help me out and trace it with the procedure Grant_West just described and would ship it to me I would be more then willing to pay you for your time materials and efforts. It's nice not having any Nautiques around this area for the most part, but times like this I wish there was some others around.
