I bought the heated razor thing from harbor freight and was only going to replace the "W" and Wellcraft decal.

My question is do you think I would lose that classic look without the pin striping. How hard is it to put pin striping on and have it look professional. Is there anywhere that sells the pin striping that would be all lined up on one roll, or do I have to put each stripe on individually?

I don't know if it's Wellcraft OEM striping, but I do know that on eBay there are a few vendors that sell boat striping kits. I've seen some that were all one piece or tape, with one fat and two skinny stripes on the single tape. Available in various colors.

As to your question about how hard is it, I'd have to say that like any other job, you get out what you put into it. Clean the hull completely where you want to put the stripes, then just take your time, measure out and mark with a dry erase pen where you want the stripes to go, and apply them. {Have a soft sponge and a squeege with you to smooth out any air bubbles from under the tape}.

Oh, and since I must have missed your 2 previous posts, welcome to the site.
