I have to place numbers on our inflatable dinghy. Has anyone got a suggestion as to the best paint to use for this? I have been told that Vinyl paint would work. Can anyone give me a hint on what brand to use? I plan on making a stencil and spray painting them on. :doh:

I have had vinyl letters on my hypalon dink for 3 years. The letters were made at a local sign shop (thanks Glenn).

The skin if ready to be replaced (1994). The dink has spent it's life outside.

I used BOATNUMBERPLATE.COM and have been very satisfied. You can purchase it at WM and they will ship to you in about 1 week. You will need a small tube of glue and a cleaner.

I bought some stencil letters and numbers in a local Staples store. Using a water and chemical resistant magic marker pencil which I also found in Staples,I traced the letters and numbers on the sides of the dinghy and then colored them in . Total cost was about $10.00. Has worked great for a year now. Worst case is I have to touch them up a littleas the sun fades them,but thats a 10 min job.

I did mine with a permanent magic marker about eight months ago. I just touched them up a few weeks ago. So far so good.

Did it!

Well I ended up cutting a template and spray painting with Vinyl paint. Worked great and looks pretty good. Thanks agajn for all the help.

How well does the state registration sticker... stick? Or did you find an alternate way to stick it?

Thanks
