Name Painting

[Roeder_mark]

Hello. I’m in the north shore of Long Island. Anyone know of someone who can paint my boat’s name properly?

....properly ?

I use painted wooden or composite letters, screwed on.
When I bought the boat she had plastic letters that looked good. When I changed the name I switched to plywood and sprayed them. When those needed replacement, I used the same supplier (Woodland Manufacturing) to supply prepainted letters. Mine are gold to simulate old style brass letters. When I painted my own, one of the paints I used was brass filings in lacquer. It looked like metal and tarnished over time. You might find a sign maker to do a nameboard for you. Good luck, keep us posted.

As said, a sign shop will have a staffer or contractor who can hand paint. Call around.

However, if it is gold leaf that you are talking about, that may require someone with rarer skills.
