These guys have some nice stuff. I don't think they do complete wraps but you might find something you like to cover or accent what you already have.

A complete wrap is meant to compete with high end graphics,we due the design, install and spay the vinyl with a special coating to give it the look of a high end paint job.These are not stickers this is a 4-6 color process printed on a special vinyl. Mr Vinyl

The only way to go is to use Controltac...but water will get under the product and it will peel off no mater what you do.We know how to stop that which took us 3 years to figure out.As we stated earlier we are a replacement product for high end graphics.Good luck on what ever process you decide to use.Bud from Mr Vinyl

3 Years Ago I Purchased 3 Sets Of Vinyl Tribal Graphics That Are For Cars From A Vinyl Company On E-bay,to Put On My Boat And They Have Been There Ever Since No Peeling Or Lifting. Its Probally Not The 100% Perfect Solution But It Also Didn't Cost Me 8000.00. It Cost Me About 300.00 To Do A 42' Boat. I"m Not Saying Its As Beautiful As Some Of Those Designs But If You Want To Add Some Color And Design Its The Way To Go.

Mr vinyl, nice work! I love the look of the Magnum.
I've had pretty simple vinyl flames on my Super Hawaii for 4 years now. I have been thinking of upgrading . I'll give you a call this fall.
How is your product for scratch repairs?

Guys I think you have to compare that $8000 estamate to a $15,000 paint job.

Payton thanks for your encouraging words,very hard for boaters who have not seen the finished product to visualize and understand that you can have a $50,000 paint job for $25,000 or what ever level you are at.These are not stickers and once they understand they can get a very high end paint job with vinyl and can update their boat ever few years and due it for 50-70% less than paint this will become commonplace.Don't get me wrong there are a lot of great painters out there but most of them our out of our reach financially and your boat will be tied up for weeks .Our process can be done in a week so doing it in season not a problem.We just took some additional pictures and will try to get them posted next week.

On your question of scratching, it is no different than paint however we spray a special 3-4 mil coating on after the vinyl has been applied,which protects and provides a gloss finish only found on high end paint jobs.Bud from Mr Vinyl
