Episode 32 Pimp My Boat

In this episode of The Rogue Rigger we give our Mini Transat 6.50 "Rogue' a bit of a facelift. The sun has not done the paint any favors on parts of the deck so we decided to try out applying a high end car vinyl wrap material. We were originally planning on re-spraying the paint in the troubled areas but we did not have a good weather window too do it properly. As well it was less expensive to do the wrap instead of painting again. I have used this product before on one of my 505's with great results. I used the VVIVID Black True R Carbon Fiber Vinyl with air release. It was relatively easy to do once you figure out how to work with it. I prepped the hull by sanding down filling any rough spots, then I wiped it down with acetone. Took about 6 hours to do the job as I had to move the scaffolding several times and I was doing it in 40-55 degree F weather. It is much easier to work with when its warm out. Could not be more stoked with the final result!
