Local Hobby shops sometimes have OK decals, but EBAY usually has decent decals www.towerhobbies.com also has decals. Or you could just do a custom paint job. Really depends what your looking for.

I'm looking for ye classic blue flames down the side of the hull.

Thanks, but flaming maniacal skulls just isn't me - and I think I'm happy about that! My idea was to have a very thin line of flames down both sides of the hull, and then a V-shaped flame coming off the deck from the front of the boat down towards the cockpit. Nothing crazy, but just something that won't make my Supervee look like every other orange one in the water.

What kind of paint and prep did you do to paint it? My hull has some fractures that I need to repair and then re-paint.

Hey Chris glad to see you got a SuperVee, we'll have to run at the pond.

You can get these paint masks for flames at most of the LHS, I used one on my VS1.

I used Testors paint, for prep work I used scotch brite pad (red) and scuffed up the hull, make sure you really get the corners and any bends really well. after that i used rubbing alchool to whip down the hull. The paint is kinda $$$ about 5 bucks a can and its not much paint but the results are wonderfull

diesel6401 - thanks for all the suggestions - the sides of the Supervee's hull don't allow for much width which is the main problem I keep encountering. Also, a Supervee 27 is, well, 27" long and most decals are too short. I just found a website named www.fastdecals.com and if you type in "flames" in their search engine I see that Flames 37 might work for the deck and that Flames 56 might be a perfect fit for my Supervee's hull. They also offer their decals in a blue chrome finish that could be hot (sorry, no pun intended).

pescedaro (Brian) - this year I manged to buy my Megatech Nirvana II sailboat, this Aquacraft Supervee 27 brushless, and Robert and I went halvers on a Vac-u-tug to rescue the other toys. Also, Robert picked up a white UL-1. We're both running NimH for now before we dive into the lipo deep end. My sailboat is still what gets me going, though.

I still haven't told my wife about the Supervee

Where do you guys run your boats in Calgary. And do you live in Prairie Schooner. I grew up in Chestermere.

Post some pictures after you finish your graphics. I have two SV27 and would love to make them look different.
