2011 RZ2 Graphics?

[bobbysky]

I took of my old stickers that had been on since 02 with a heatgun and some good old fashion elbow grease. You could slightly see the lines, but all was good after a good buffing. Go to harbor freight and get one of their 10$ heatguns and your good to go.

Da.bell - What did you have to pay/do to get the graphics on your sweet boat?

When I purchased the boat, the original graphics were damaged and Tige stepped up (warranty) to change them out.

Use a heat gun to get the old graphics off. Then some Carb spray, goof off, or just buff the glue off with 3M final cut. Plan to buff the whole boat when you do it. If you use the 3M final cut to buff there will be no need for wet sanding as long as you have maintained the boat and kept it shinny. I had to do that when I first got my boat and it worked great. Just be careful to not get the gel coat scorching hot.

Sounds pretty easy to remove the current graphics. If I installed my ballast system I should be able to remove the graphics.
How hard would it be to install the 2010 graphics on the boat? Or I guess after I have removed the old graphics I could have a local graphics/sign/detailer guy install the new ones for me.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I appreciate it!

It shouldnt be to hard. I have seen graphics applied to lots of things. Use lots of application fluid to help position the stickers and remove bubbles. Use a squeegee to squeeze out all the bubbles. I have to promote my brother on this, he has alot of experience on the subject. If you have any questions give him a call. Ask for Nick, and tell him Adam told you about HHsignsupply.com http://www.hhsignsupply.com/productc...idCategory=343

Listen to this guy I am in the industry. Those sign guys that do wraps all the time know there stuff. $600k in labor is crazy. Unless they were planning on doing a total detail on the outside which I bet your boat does not need. Worse case remove the graphics yourself with a heat gun from harbor freight you will do nothing to the gel coat. Also you cant hurt your boat buffing it either. To be honest I bet for $1000 you could get some custom graphics done and applied by AJ bro. Or they could come close to copying the current graphics. I will tell you cost on those graphics are probably at the most $4 per square foot. Of course Tige needs to make money and your dealer. Seriously call AJ's brother. Or find someone local to you that does LOTS of wraps. Seriously thats about 2 hours worth of work to put on the graphics and to be honest probably less.
