Fish to Win Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 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- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerchJerker Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've used Lettertech a lot in the past and really like them. But just about any vinyl graphics decal or sign shop should be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 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.

harvey lee Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 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.

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.
