VINYL I NSTALLATION GUIDE ADDITIONAL GUIDE FOR GOLD LEAF

In this page you find all the elements necessary to create your boat lettering in just 12 steps.

We fabricate cut-out vinyl letters, easy to install. They are  furnished  in one entire piece  to avoid  misplacing problems with shadows or outlines.

BEFORE  YOU PROCEED

his page is very easy to fill. It contains everything  to order your boat lettering, as colors, types,  effects, and prices. Just scroll down and follow the instructions.

  • Take measurements on your own boat, about the space you will place the sign..

  • Take note of the approximate size of the letters and the length of the entire lettering. If you wish the lettering in Caps and lower case, remember that some letters like, f-g-j-p-q-y-, have a tail. Make sure your boat has enough space for the tails.

  • To measure the height of the lettering use the tallest letter of the name.

  1. Ex,   mustang.gif (1718 bytes) Do not measure the tails, unless you specify so, in "Comments"
  2. Place the attributes to the lettering as you will see scrolling down the page.

  3. Look up the price according to the total length of the sign.

  4. There is a price chart for one color, and another for two colors, select the correct chart.

  5. Our price system is based only in the total length of the sign, regardless of height , up to 11“ high, or amount of letters, in one line. This system developed by R T SPECIALTIES, makes very easy to quote.

  6. For letters more than 11 inches tall  there is a chart down ahead.

  7. As well as if you order 22 karat Gold Leaf, there is an additional  price list.

  8. Leave blank the items you do not need.

  9. Go ahead and enjoy.
