Beware of the guys selling printed on vinyl for your multi color decals

They say they are using 7 year vinyl and they are, but the printing will only last 3 to 5 years and will be fading the whole time. The 2 mil vinyl multi color lettering we sell is computer die cut no printing to fade so you get a longer lasting decal. They have not yet come up with a sufficent outdoor product even with the thermal printing. We use to sell it till we found out it started fading quickly and very seldom made it more than 3 years outdoors before looking really bad. Make sure you buy straight vinyl even if it is not from us.

Is there a background color on the lettering or Numbers?

The lettering is computer die-cut and pre spaced, so when the application tape is removed only the letters are left on the intended surface. The background color option on the lettering tool is just for viewing purposes, so you can see what shows up the best on your hull or vehicle color. Note: On lettering tool White is on the very end.

What will the lettering stick to?

It will stick to any clean smooth surface. If it is smooth such as glass, fiberglass boats, mirrors, some walls, boats, vehicles, mail boxes, banners, aluminum, wood, etc.

How lettering is measured

Is it easy to Install?

Yes, we send easy install instructions with every order. You will be surprised at how easy it really is. Pretty much peel and stick.

Special instruction for Glass Windows

You will need to use white or a light color vinyl to show up on tinted glass. The vinyl cannot be cut for an inside install if glass is tinted you would not be able to view it from the outside. For clear glass lettering can be cut for inside install. You must clean the glass extremly well, one way to know if the glass is clean and the lettering will stick is if the masking tape you are using during install won't stick and hold the lettering securely in place. than the vinyl won't either. Clean again until tape will stick well. Be very careful pulling application tape off if you use the soapy water technique, it must be dry before removal. Do not get water on paper backing before or during installation.

Is your checkout Secure?

Yes we have a secure line for your safety, you will see the lock at the top or bottom of the page when you are putting in your personal info during the ordering process. Be sure and put what you ordered and the price quoted in the proper fields on the payment page so we will have something to reference your order to.

Boat Name Images I send for approval

When I send an image back with the sizes and quote, you are then required to either approve it or make changes. Once approved that is the way the lettering will go out, so please proof the spelling and colors so there are no surprises.

Boat Registration Numbers

Please pick a font that will be suitable to the Coast Guard Rules & Regulations, we are not responsible for fonts chosen that might not meet their requirements. Generally a bold type lettering works well. They will be 3" x 22" unless otherwise requested, such as for personal watercraft where we make them 18" and they fit. Please put if it is a watercraft or boat numbers you are ordering so we can send you the correct size. Water craft users also need to know that to keep the numbers legal they must be 3" tall, so when you add an outline or shadow to keep it legal the lettering will actually be about 3.4" in height so make sure this will work for you before ordering.

All Lettering & Numbers come with relief between the 2 or 3 colors

Relief is a small space less than 1/16 of an inch between the letters and the outline or shadow color. Most of the competiton sends you your 2 color lettering in 2 pieces because of the relief ours comes in one easy to install piece. We will send it to you in 2 pieces if requested if you don't like the idea of the small space between the letters and outline and or shadow effect. Once you step away from it and view it from the distance everyone else sees it you can't even see it.

100 Percent Gaurantee

You are gauranteed to get the lettering you asked for or we will replace it with more lettering. (If we sent the wrong color or size.) So please proof spelling & Colors of your lettering or numbers before ordering, once proofed that is what will be shipped. No monetary refunds offered due to the nature of the product, once cut you cannot reuse. We package all decals in a priority mail box packed with styrofoam peanuts and easy install instructions so the box can't be crushed and ruin the decals.
