Has anyone had the vinyl lettering replaced on a 92 Comp . I don't like the lettering but after buffing out the gel I have ghost lettering I can't get out . If a sign shop already has the file it would be easier to reproduce.

I had the exact lettering on my 96 and had the ghosting also when I removed. Ended up wet sanding to get it out
Did you get all the ghosting out ? I would rather not put those ugly things back on?
He did from what I could tell from seeing his boat a few times before he sold it.
Yes it all came out. Started by hand with 600 then 1000 then 1500. Then 3m heavy duty rubbing compound with buffer. Then gloss polish with buffer. Then wax with buffer. Wasn`t too hard since only doing the color and not the white. Attachment 18345
I had the same thing, did the wet sanding and all the ghost lettering came out.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f6c1b8c7dc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7668e87ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9275c83b9d.jpg

I found a sign shop that can duplicate the lettering . Not sure on color . I'm thinking black or black with a silver outline . Black 1'' stripe under.
Well we picked the colors Kinda a combo between retro and original. Its either going to be wow or what was he thinking . Ill post picks when its done.
Well here it is I went with the original graphics to cover all the ghosting but changed the color to retro Supra light blue with a black pinstripe around the lettering . Then put a 1'' black stripe with a 1/4'' light blue stripe that goes into the light blue Supra wave. I think it pops against the sanded and buffed red of the hull . And its not yellow. Now we can concentrate on the new carpet and interior vinyl.

Looks great! I love red and blue together with just a punch of black. No mistaking the machining look to the trailer
Not crazy about the black, but the blue looks pretty sweet on the red hull. Looks real nice, much better than yellow.
Well the work continues way ahead of schedule. New carpet , new speakers , all new vinyl with added foam . There are still a handful of odds and ends but over all very pleased with the results.

That Comp looks great, it is so small the doghouse looks huge! Did you do the vinyl yourself?
Man, that looks great! :)
My wife sews for Cover Girl a local upholstery shop . We are still learning the tricks of the trade.
After running out of gas because of the crappy fuel sender. I ordered another electronic sender from Centroid products . I have been using them since 1989 when I replaced the sender in my 89 Sunsport . The needle moved so much in the waves it was useless . Rock solid and super accurate ever since.
