$1000 to wrap the blue stripe?? Are you crazy?!?!

You buy a roll of vinyl, application spray, a heat gun, a few squeegees, a good knife and get to town. A 30"x10yd roll is $80. You need two rolls. You're looking at around $200 total. Slap it up rough and cut to final shape on boat. No pre cut or patterns needed. It's like installing window tint.

You'll spend more money on buffing supplies and that only lasts 6 months/year between jobs. Vinyl will look perfect for 7 years. I was going to do it to my boat but instead it sold.


Yes a decal shop quoted me the same price and I about fell off my chair. I have the size and color of vinyl I need ordered for $104 and also a buddy who vinyls police cars to help me out :)

I ordered a cut vinyl stripe from Fourwinns to match mine when I damaged it. Mine was just a small 2 inch wide stripe but as I recall the roll was still around $90 or so. My graphics company now does wide format and I have some cut vinyl on hand. The problem I can see would be getting a vinyl that would match and then secondly finding the cut pattern for it. I could see if I can get a sample of a a blue vinyl if you would like to see how close we can come to matching it or check with a sign supply company near you.


Thank you for your help :) I found a place online that had the right color and width I need. It will be easy because the stripe is the same width the whole way round except the slants at the end.

Make sure you use cast vinyl. It's glossy like paint and doesn't shrink. The cheaper vinyls are stretched and not the best of finishes, and shrink in the sun. Good for small stickers, not for doing big panels.
