Metallic tape on Sunday Cat hull

[sailing102]

I have a 2023 Sunday cat I just purchased. The goldish color tape is missing on the hull in some areas. Has anyone ordered replacement or know the exact color or where I can find some? Thanks

Hopefully someone has a current recommendation. A PC owner was asking the same question on another list in March and our searches for gold tape weren't very productive. Lots of product out here, but they were all too matte, nothing bright and polished about them.

I did turf up this old 2013 post that listed parts for the Eclipse, including on the last page, Gold Chrome Tape. That made all the difference, searching for gold chrome tape yields the shinny tape you're looking for.

I've asked the PC owner (an older boat) if he found a good match. I'll let you know if he has something to recommend. Meanwhile, I'd look for a source that has local retail outlets and bring a sample to match directly. An art supply store like Dick Blick, or a ship chandlery such as West Marine would work.

Bruce, thank you. I found a good match on amazon 'Paper Street Plastics'.  A Chrome Tape Plastic Vinyl, self adhesive.
It is gold and looks very similar to the existing accent tape on my 2023 sunday cat. Bob

I heard back from that PC owner, and he found a tape that he thought was a good match. Older boat, 2000, so some fading likely.

I'll post this here in case others are also looking for tape.
