    I would suggest you find yourself a local airbrush artist and take that pic and your boat. I would guess it would cost you under $100

    or you might try a vinyl shop, looks like alot of that could be done in vinyl. (would be cheaper than paint)

    good luck post pics when you get it done.
    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

              Just a note on this, I do alot of body work and paint my boats myself and many other things, pinewood derby cars, special golf carts and such. you should remember a couple things. The paint these guys use or should use is not cheap for one, and just think to lay a flat paint job out on a fiberglass hood of a car. just one color is about 400.00 So to do like a pearlescence flame job or any fading it takes many ours of work. your better off doing it yourself and learning something in the meantime.

                    I am always up for more paint jobs, but I also agree with Mich. Maniac. Because of the paint I use and the time it takes to do these things, it won't be under $100. And it is a blast to paint it yourself.

                        Which sv? Anything with checkers takes a long time. On the vegas there was about 12 hours of work. The OSE sv didn't take that long because it is free hand. The red and orange sv took about 8 hours of work. But obviously you can't do that all in one night, because of the layers and sanding and drying it takes a week or two.

                            Off the top of my head, prob. would say about $150. I would defiantly look at vinyl too, check out both sides. Is the hull white right now?

                              yea the hull is white
                              i think i want it to be paited rather than vinyl
                              so about $150 for a paint job
                              that a very good price
                              you may have $150 commin your way...
