Wondering if anyone could recommend a company/person who could print a replacement decal for the underside of my board. Did a total reno on the board. The original lettering was paint printed on but I'd like to replace it with a sticker instead as there's already a large stock sticker on the underside of the nose. Any info really appreciated cheers

+1 easy option and any of them would do it easy

But gee they charge

Find a chick with a Cricut machine for craft stuff, cut stencil, paint it.

Sticker not a great option due to the thickness of the vinyl, it will shrink eventually and u get the sticky halo around the edges, and price
All that effort you put in already .... make it pretty man

Thanks for that. I had considered the stencil option. It just messes with my OCD not to have the board in its original condition ?? I'll phone a couple of printers tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Can't warrant buying a cricut machine to do the job, although I had thought of it in the past. Hubby would have me doing all his jobs too lol ??

Talk to a shop. They usually have big stickers.
