Boat Decals


Fish to Win

Recommended Posts

I have a 18 foot Blue Fin that I am painting this spring and would like to know where I could get some new decals for it after the paint job. I will put the letters Blue Fin and numbers on it of course, but I would like some info on other fancy decals- Thanks- Also- how many quarts to you think it would take to cover one application on a 18 aluminum boat.

Thanks again-

Look locally for any sign shop in your area. Try to stay away from the big boys (Lettertech, Sign-O-Rama, etc). Most independant guys will give you much better service at a much better price.

Any shop that does vinyl work will be able to do this for you.

I would make sure that you are purchasing a quality vinyl for the decal job. Once we had the race car lettered by a guy who was considerably less and thats what we got, less in the quality department in regards to a material. Some material will almost wash off and others can withstand a tire hitting the decal.

There is a difference from what I have seen in quality.

Harvey is right. Vinyl comes in many different grades. Make sure they use a premium grade vinyl. 3M and Avery both make a good premium vinyl but they also make lesser "intermediate" grades. Premium has a 7-9 year warranty, intermediate only 3-5 years.
