Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

[FREEDOM!!!]

Some folks have wondered about painting the engine with the Grady cream white vs just getting the basic white Yamaha. Here's how they look. This really shows the contrast in white colors.

Basic Yamaha white.


Grady cream white.

I think the GW cream color is much better looking and quite a bit more subtle. It looks like it fits much more as opposed to the Yamaha white, which imo contrasts too much with the rest of the boat and is all that I see when I look at it.

Definitely Grady cream.

I am very glad I went with the Grady cream. That Yamaha white just looks out of place.

Grady Cream for sure. When I ordered my boat, yamaha white was the only color and I agree it looks out of place so we went with the yamaha factory color

Did you aftermarket paint? Or is this a colour option from Yamaha?

MarineMax painted mine with the matching Grady white color. I don't think Yamaha offers them stock with that color.

Cream turned out brilliantly - good work!


May we inquire as to cost for Marine Max to complete?

They wanted about $4500 to do it, but I negotiated them throwing it in free as part of the sale.
