Default Boat Wraps in Central AB

Got a few bucks left in the budget and I'm looking to get some custom graphics for the new tinner. I want to cover the portion of a 14' aluminum that is normally painted w/a custom wrap.

Anyone done this?
Cost?
Shop suggestions?

Also not sure if they can provide an assortment of graphics/colours to choose from or do I need to show up w/that in hand?

Awesome! Is that paint beneath or full wrap? If you don't mind me asking, where did you have it done?

Source Signs edmonton, The base is new paint (blue)

I sanded and painted it myself, old paint had the old sticker shadows so I used the hairdrier to remove the Princecraft decals that were only half there, sanded and rolled on a coat of enamel paint fast and done in 3 hours then waiting 2 weeks for the paint to cure for the decals. Sign sources said fresh paint needs to cure 2 weeks before decals and wraps, or the decal and wrap will not stick as well.

These have been holding up beautifully, The Name of the boat is something my mother started with me when I was 13, Our farm has the koksilha river though it and I had my first boat !!

Oh ya the design and approvals were done by email and the install took 45 minutes at there shop :}

Great thanks for the feedback!

I'm looking to something similar to this...



Minus the logo of course. But black or black/grey gradient and a cartoon skeleton Jackfish.

That is a bit pricey ! How was the selection of graphics, and is their an online link a person can look at the standard patterns ? I may consider it as my boat is starting to show its age on the exterior.
