And he definitely has decal replicas: www.nymarine.ca/JONGTANK.html Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Seems pricey to me. Isn't their a product made in the good old USA I can use? Tom Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

NYMarine decals ARE really NICE. yours, satx Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Effenac has GREAT paints and are a bit cheaper, They ship faster. They do not have a up charge on red paints, all their paints are the same price

They have been selling on ebay for a long time and just started to place ads in the Outboarder
