Hatteras 55 Convertible Paint Job

**True Grit** · 02-03-2009 10:03 PM

Folks,
I have an older (1987) 55 Convertible and am in the process of painting the boat this winter. I am painting the top side Matterhorn Whie and am having trouble deciding hull color - Matterhorn white, Ice blue or Light yellow. Trying to balance my preference for colored hull with impact on resale. Taking a poll - what do you guys think?

Best,

TG

I like seeing a boat on the water that is blue, sea foam green or any other combo of those colors. It easier to tell apart from the rest of the pack.

That being said..ice blue would get my vote.

If you want to blend into the pack and not be noticed...white.

I vote ice blue also. That is the color I am doing my decks and hullside in this year.

All of those colors are super popular colors with boats in general.

Love all of those colors ice blue is very commom and yellow people take it or leave it as well as aqua mist.

There is also a blue tone white that looks awesome as well.

We have also been doing a lot of grey combos that look very sleek.

Granted they are not big boats but the color formation would look similar. I'll see if I can find some pics

With all the boats and colors out there I like to be seperated from the pack and stand out
