Boat names signwritten – or stickers?

Boat signage Northern Beaches

Do you need a sign for your yacht or motor cruiser?  There are two options for boat signage. Boat names are either sign written with paint or alternatively made with vinyl stickers.

A brush is used to do traditional sign writing. The signwriter hand paints the sign or design directly to the hull of the boat.

Hand Painted Signwriting

Hand painting is done with tough and durable enamel paint. Enamel sign writing paint is easily touched up if scratched to make like new again. Alternatively, if stickers are damaged they will need to be stripped off and redone.
