Cove stripes, cavita lines, call them what you like, they look far better finished in gold or silver. A few years ago I discovered a way of protecting the gold or palladium leaf so that it would last right up to the next paint job. Among my clients for these are big yachts such as Kokomo, Adela, Mondango, Prana, Gaia, Rainbow(Jclass), Hetairos and many more.

We can produce laminated stripes in the workshop that go on in one go and need no extra protection.
