Nacra graphics

Hey Tim, I'd like a hat and a visor. I can work out some time to meet you and pick it up.

Hi Tim
Interested in one pair of the large blue Nacra decals. Please email me directly banddlivingston@rogers.com so we can discuss price, payment means and shipment.
thanks
Dave Livingston

I'm pretty sure I replied by PM...waiting for invoice.

If i can put those on my Hobie will it go faster?

Tominpa,

PM sent, I just want to make sure you saw the pics because theses look a little different than expected.

Tim, I replied to the PM. Considering the boat is currently all gloss white with only registration numbers, the NACRA decals should look good. I'm in for blue.

Extra reply here to get may promotion to "Mate". LOL

Tom, I got your PayPal, shipping Monday, thanks!

Sailing season is about over here, but I'll get them put on before putting the boat away. Thanks for all the footwork getting these imported and making them available at a good price.

I keep looking at the graphics and it looks to me like the blue decal should go over the black decal to create the correct graphic, there is a new 500 listed on this site that seems to show it this way take a look and see what you think.

Could this be a 2-part decal? 2-color decals would be easy to print, and over-laying a decal would be very difficult. I can't imagine it is done that way at the factory. Tim, is the height and width of the black graphic larger by about the amount shown in this image?

It is a 2 color decal. I have this factory decal on my boat.

I think that is probably correct in it being a 2 piece decal. I also agree that it would be very difficult to get it lined up right. I still have some of both colors if anyone wants to give it a try. I really don't understand why they didn't just print them as one piece. It's gonna be hard to line up and get any bubbles out between layers.

Tominpa,

I said two color. Not two piece.

The 2 part decal makes sense. Using colored vinyl and die cutting 2 sizes is way cheaper than screen printing each one. Looks like there is clear mask on them so you can peel the backs and line them up right which shouldnt be hard. For bubbles use the old windex trick. Clean and spray windex on the hull and carefully place the decal on top of the windex and position as needed. squeegee out the bubbles with a plastic spatula and let dry then peel the mask. Repeat for the second decal and done. I worked for a decal company in my misspent youth.

Use a spray bottle with water and a little dish soap in it. Spray the area where you are placing the decal and also spray the back of the decal. This will allow you to move the decal around until you have it placed exactly where you want it, then use a small squeegee to remove any bubbles and excess water. Lightly daub with a paper towel to help with drying also.
I used this method when applying registration numbers to the hulls of my boat. Hope this helps.

I checked the dimensions and the blue decals DO fit on top of the black ones leaving a nice black border as seen

That's going to look sharp!

Should be very nice. I'm going to do a full wet sand, along with filling some nicks and then put mine on.
Then buff and wax
