custom color ?

[00hawk]

does anyone know if phoenix boats will do a custom color? i looked through all their offered colors and don't see the one i would like. I remember reading that some boat company would but don't remember if it was phoenix.
Thanx

Hawk,
I asked that question while I was on my tour last week and was told no. The reasoning is that the mixture ratios between colors, flake, etc.. is well defined and if they go outside of that and create a custom color, they would never be able to match it if you have an issue. Makes sense.

thank you very much for the quick response! looks like ill have to come up with another idea!

According to Jeff, they are constantly looking at new colors. Did you by chance check the newly posted color chart pinned at the top of this forum? Alot to choose from.

yeah i did check it and im glad it was posted because i saw another color i absolutely love! originally i was thinking a black, orange, and gunmetal color but i wanted it all gel and only the gunmetal being flake. I absolutly fell in love with the royal blue flake! here is what im thinking just making the councils blue too.

[SHOboat719]

I like that and their blue really pops but, I think your first option with the burnt orange would be HOT!

Im really looking for an orange like a home depot orange i want something bright that stands out and phoenix only offers the burnt orange. im in a pickle and do not know what to do.

I've personally seen the burnt orange and it definitely pops. The boat we had for a month was white, burnt orange, and black/orange flake with gunmetal pins. Was really sharp. If and when I get a bird, I will do something with this color combo and do the burnt orange / black /orange two tone consoles.

mark, do you have any pictures of any of those boats? Other than the post pinned at the top with the color palettes i've never seen the burnt orange on a boat. I'd like to see if its more of a copper or an orange.

The boat you have up there is what I'm ordering in about two weeks!!!! The only thing I can't decide is whether to have black or white pin stripes. I've looked at several different color combos but keep going back to that one.

Tony,
There is a burnt orange boat in the "why?" post from about a month ago. I'll look it up.

[00hawk]

That is a sharp color combo! I would personally go with the black pins myself. That is my #2 option right now if I don't like the burnt orange.

[SHOboat719]

Well, i was mistaken. It must have been in another post.
Does anyone know what post that Burnt Orange boat was in?

Here's onw with the burnt orange at Limit Out Marine. I saw another one somewhere as well but can't remember where. It looks more like UT (Texas) orange. Look at the second picture. It's a close-up of the rear of the boat. There's also a glimpse of the rear in the sun...actually looks pretty sharp.

Tony,
Here is the one I was talking about. It is really sharp!

Those two orange boats are basically the reverse on the side. Orange side panel or white side panel. The second boat actually uses the two tone consol approach. I will do like wise with Orange on top and Black/orange on the bottom for my console to give the top a little more color than straight white.

Thank you the pictures of these boats has sealed the deal for me!

I'm glad you like the color.....I successfully kept another one away from my colors.... Then again, I had to steal it from someone else. C'mon, a couple more weeks and I can pull the trigger on my order.
