Title: DECALS and STICKERS FOR MODEL BOATS
Post by: Brigadair on September 04, 2014, 06:26:35 pm
Hi All

Many of us like a bit of "BLING" on our boats. I do.

(Apart from looking good, they cover up cracks, holes, gobo repairs etc!!!!! LOL!!!!)

Have in the past bought vinyl sheet and letters from various places. Also bought motorcycle self adhesive decals which stick on hull or onto coloured vinyl backing sheet.

RECENTLY used VISTA PRINT. Well impressed. You can pick your own text size, font, colour and message, etc and do it all online very quickly.

Other benefits: Not too expensive.
The text is not laid onto the boat or vinyl sheet, it is incorporated within the sheet IE a flat sheet with no risk of bits peeling off etc. Olso the quality is superb. No colour bleed from text into background etc. Colours are vibrant too.

Thought I'd share this with fellow powerboat racers, though I know many of you have excellent existing suppliers, please share them and promote them.

Best regards

Briggy
