that is pretty cool. I wonder wether the boat was actually used on the water after that?

Would be interested to know what paint was used and how to get it.

The reason i asked the question is because i have a mate whos a graffiti artist and he wants me to let him loose on what will be my brand new boat. I have absolute faith that he wont f**k it up but i dont want to be paddling away and find my boat disintegrating under me. And of course ill be polluting the water.

It probably isnt a good idea after all is it?! no one seems to be raving how there paint job has stood the test of time. I think ill probably buy my friend a piece of canvass and get him to do something for my wall. cheers fellas

AFAIK, the vinal is heated as its put on so I dunno if its a great idea... but if your serious about getting it done it would be a pretty cool thing to done. Easy to change too
