Julie,
Not sure but I think Stan paints all the Rhodes 22s. Paint seems to hold
it's color better than gelcoat. Fretless is a recycled Rhodes 22. She was
originally blue and we had her painted white (there's a novel idea ;-) )
when she was recycled 5 years ago. Still looks like new (ignore the dirty
spot on her side) http://www.kaynor.org/Rhendezvous/mdscf0005.jpg
There's a great shot of various colors and canvas combinations of R22s at
http://www.kaynor.org/Rhendezvous/mdscf0033.jpg as Mark said in his
caption "Blue hulls to port, black hulls to starboard - that's just the way
it worked out".
If you haven't seen them there are a couple of pics of an OLD red R22 at
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/JimHartig1.jpg and
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/JimLinda1.jpg I suspect they had her
repainted because it really looks good.
One hint - Don't agonize too much over your decision. the boat will be
great no matter what!
Best wishes & good luck!
Mary Lou
