Call White Lake. They got me decals for my '90 Ski Nautique a year ago. They had to be ordered through the factory- not sure if the BFN decals would be any different.

Michael, When you read the previous threads did you see the discussion about having them duplicated by a vinyl shop that does truck graphics? Since you can't get them anymore, this may be your only option.

michael, If you are having problems with uploading pictures, try using photobucket.com There are some instructions on how to use it I believe in the off topic section. Whatever software is used on the site is what this site likes!
Since you have stated that your boat is now naked, I take it you have removed the graphics. This complicates you having a sign shop make duplicates because they use a tracing of the old to scan into the computer and then fill in all the colors and shading. Now you need another boat to trace. The artwork can be created but this is very time consuming (expensive) and difficult to match the original. |

Michael, I see that you were able to post the picture. The boat looks pretty clean.
OK, now you need to find another BFN so you can trace the lettering and take it, as well as, pictures (from our ref section?) to a sign shop. When done, they should give you the graphics file which would make a wonderfull addition to this sites ref section. Hint! Hint! Keep us informed. |

Michael, That's great! It will make it very easy for your sign guy to reproduce them. Don't forget that the image file would make a great contribution to the ref section here.

I have had the same problem. I have not found anyone who has been able to do the fade either. I believe that you will get more response if you move this to the general discussion or boat maint section. I was going to take them to fast signs and get them done in light gray with blue accents. Any luck with vector files yet?

Micheal, I feel you should look for the printer of the vinyl first. They may want to scan the graphics themselves because they will do it or convert it to the program file they need for their printing equipment.
Have you been looking for printers that do large vinyl graphics for say truck trailers? A vector file is one where all the points are plotted with a mathamatical relationship to one another. This allows the graphics to be enlarged or reduced without loosing any detail. Where are you? |

swiper,
I have a friend that can have your tiff file converted to an EPS file. He works for a company that makes embroidery equipment, so he will not be able to have it printed. It would save you some set up cost when you find someone to print it as well as allow it to be posted for others. You are the first person that I know has been able to find any of these in any color. |

Keep looking for someone in you area that can print the vinyl. Find someone first before you scan to create any files. I feel you are better off with the printer doing the work. If you supply the file and there is something wrong, it will be your problem and not theirs! |

the main problem is printing the color white. the decal is clear and the fade is white as well as the outline. the third color is grey that gives the 3d affect.

Check out Vinyl Graphics at www.vinylgraphics .
I just had the main hull 3D graphics and several smaller graphics done for my 90 Sport Nautique. They managed to reproduce the graphics from measurements and some photos I provided them. The final product came out perfect and looks exactly like the originals and in some aspects better. And, they cost me far less the then same graphics I had purchased from CC 7 years ago. Send your specs to Ryan at ryan@vglargeformat.com
