Painting your PQ
I found a thread that asked if painting your PQ would affect the retail value so I posted a few pic's there. I didn't see anyone that actually painted their PQ so I thought I would share a few pics of mine. I had it painted in the spring of 2020. It is done in automotive paint. It may have something in it for a marine application but not sure. Before you say it won't last, he painted another boat for me and I never had any problems. I came up with the layout which is both simple and I hope much more timeless than what came on it from PQ. It took me a month and several different layouts to come up with this layout and then several more weeks after that before I decided that I liked it every time I looked at it. Originally it was going to be red with gray or silver. Last minute went with the red white and blue. I never gave it a thought if painting it would adversely affect resale. I knew that I hated the stock colors and layout . If you've done some paintwork to yours lets see it. FYI mine is a 95 Enticer.

I agree. I was thinking I would get the rattle cans out and go white. Thanks for your comment.

From my perspective, painting a boat, assuming it wasn't a raging fustercluck of a paint job, only decreases its value to a prospective buyer who doesn't like the specific graphics that were done, and that is going to be hard to avoid, given that is a future problem.
Paint it how you like it. It's your boat. Worry about resale down the road. If I had the cajones, I'd get the orbital out, strip the painted graphics off ours and leave it minimalist white. One dick's opinion.....
Thanks. Brad.
