Painting of vessel name

[satanscowboy]

Any suggestions as to whom to use for painting of vessel name on 22' cruiser in the Auburn, Maple Valley area in Wa. state?

Nobody paints the name anymore. West Marine and other marine stores have , I believe. Mylar that can be made up with your name and port of call. You have to clean and wax the surface it goes on. It is like a decal.. If you do not want to do it your self, check any sign painter in the area. They make the sign up using a computer and stick it on your boat. Very easy and not to expensive.

Good Luck,

Fred

Fred gives good info.

The "Jenny B" name was done by a local sign shop on marine grade vinyl for about $45 total. I put them on myself using the free "scraper" they gave me and their very easy instructions. Even a credit card will work to apply them, but I ain't allowed one. :cry Sheesh, one shopping binge at West Marine and she gets all up tight....

I used Prism Graphics. They are located at Westlake on Lake Union in Seattle. They do a good job. Here's their website.

The guy who helped me is named Edward.

Although it's on the wrong coast for you, many people buying C-Dories from Cutter Marine in Baltimore have their names painnted on by a very talented sign painter there.

The art of name painting boat names is not dead.
