Hi Dave -
Don't have any pics of painted decks/bright-finished hulls. First off, unless they're really huge, the deck flaws are probably most noticeable only by you. After a season or two, they're likely to be hard to find.

You could go with a tinted finish that allows the grain to show through and use that to create a deck graphic.
