About Vinyl Boat Lettering, Boat Graphics & Boat Registration Numbers:
The vinyl we use is the highest quality in the industry. It is a cast, high performance vinyl which is warrantied from the manufacturer for 8 years against cracking, fading or shrinking. All premium colors are warrantied for 8 years, metallics for 7 years, ultra-metallics for 5 years and 22 K sign gold for 10-14 years.
There are two general types of vinyl in the industry. Cast vinyl is used on boats, cars and trucks for long term exterior applications and calendared vinyl is used for short term interior and exterior signage. Yachtsee.com uses only CAST vinyl from two of the top manufacturers, Avery and Oracal.
Metallic and Ultra Metallic vinyls actually have metal flakes in the vinyl. The flakes are what makes the vinyl “pop.”
Peeling and chipping is not a manufactures defect, it is a result of poor installation. If a good adhesion is not made between the surface and the adhesive coating on the back of the vinyl, peeling and chipping may occur. This is why we stress proper surface preparation before installation. Wax and dirt are problems and if not removed properly will result in lettering which could peel in the future.
We recommend using a good wax removal product for preparing the area properly. Glass window cleaner is not a wax removal product.
