I had a customer contact me yesterday about wrapping the sides and top of a 2008 DCB F29 boat. I have partial wrapped normal cruiser boats in the past but after looking this boat up it seems to be more of a speed boat, and he wants the sides and tops done with striping. my issue is will my work fail on the waters due to more rigorous speeds. I use only 3M and I do primer the edges for a stronger bond. the more I looked into the boat I see mostly paint jobs done on these specific boats. Any advice or experience someone has had in the past please share with me thank you.

Need Help Partial Wrap speed boat?

Personally I try to dissuade people wanting to get the boat wrapped. Their primary reason for seeking a wrap is because they think it will be cheap, "Because it's just stickers". However, when you go to do it, they are going to want a design just like what the painter charges $15,000 to do even though it's easier to do it with paint than to design it to look that way with print. And they'll want it for $1500. And when they scar it in a docking or trailering mishap, they won't understand why you can't just patch it.
