Just sanded the shovel nose down to the original gel coat and its Red metal flake, and seems to have had some orange and yellow stipes. Anyways, i really like the 70's paint, but im having a hard time finding many 70's paint schemes, i like the old candy tape fades, and 70's lettering and have done some of this painting but for some reason nothing is coming to mind when im trying to come up with a plan. I have looked thru all the hot boat image center and found a few from "eric" and "wayne herbert" but they are all so small pics that i cant get a clear veiw. I wishthere was an archive, from sanger where i could see the choices on a 71 shovel any body know of anything like that or any other sites with vintage pics. I like the old stuff b/c its different. Any help is appreciated thanks.
