At some point in time someone thought it would be fun to paint the coveline and waterline black using cheap brush on paint. I decided it was time for this paint to go, so with a light duty graffiti remover, a paint scraper, and lots of hope that the original blue was in good condition, so far so good, one side of the boat is finished; the other side is half done.
I can see the original Chrysler in the faded gel coat so I can figure out the length, height and spacing. Does anyone know what the original font was?
Thanks.

Sorry I don't have an appropriate font, but here's a good picture:

Trev, another question - are you planning on having a graphics shop make you one ?
If so you should be able to get enough contrast to make a neat hand tracing on paper - then you can scan that in, color it in photoshop, and send it to the shop..they can clean it up if needed..
I have a thread about making your own graphics as well..

I removed the origional Chrysler from the cove stripe to place my boat name in that location.
I did notice that there seemed to be a slite indent around the edges of the old letters in the gell coat, you may be able to do a pencil rubbing to get the letter style.
