I'm redoing a boat, with any luck, I'll soon be putting stickers on it and the trailer. After I make sure it floats and runs!! Where have you gotten stickers from? We have a place in town that makes stickers and wraps, I'm going to price them. As for online, where from? I found discountdecals.com, any experience with them?

 

It's an '87 Skeeter Strada F-120

I'm a printer by trade.  I'd find a local print shop that has a small digital machine and have them print them for you.  Here's why.  We are constantly being approached by people who had small runs, like your stickers, ruined by online companies.  The reason?  Price.  Online printers compete through price, not quality.  Their main concern is turnover.  They're profit margins are minimal, so they only make money when they print a lot.  So your small job is only profitable to them if they spend the bare minimum amount of time on it.  They're not worried about bad experiences, because they can usually get your bad online reviews removed or drown them out.  There are companies you can hire to do that for you.  Years ago, online reviews meant something and could be trusted.  These days... not really.  

 

Now a smaller, local print shop might charge you a bit more (a few bucks on a small run), but they'll spend a lot more time with it and make sure it gets done right.  They price the time and materials it takes to get it right into the job.  And that will often save you money in the long run, because it prevents you from having to have the job redone later.  Plus, they can do more to help you, like help you choose the right sticker stock, so that it will stay attached to your boat, even if it gets wet.  And, if it's not done right, you have someone there you can talk to, face to face.  That makes a big difference when it comes to customer service.  

 

If you look up print shops near you, you'll likely find a couple.  You can call a couple of them up and ask for quotes.  Then go to the one that sounds best and choose your paper when you drop off the artwork.  They usually have samples available.
