Title: Vinyl lettering
Post by: jonnyboy92 on June 25, 2014, 10:30:21 AM

Anyone ever used vinyl lettering on their boat.   I was thinking of using it instead of painting the name on.

I had it on my boat for 3 years and it's didn't fade but it did start to peel my guy uses good 3m vinyl also. That may have had something to do with the life span of the vinyl.

Cy did the cf#'s on my boat.  He's done a bunch for boats on PB. He emailed me options and I picked what I wanted.  He cut and shipped in a couple day's.   His scree name is Moneysucker I believe.  Here's his Facebook, I'd recommend him.

I use Tibbets Boat Lettering in Costa Mesa for all the yachts we sell. Jeff is the owner 1 (949) 422-1814. He probably does well over 50% of all boats in the water in Newport. And yes he is fair on pricing.
