Thank you for your time. There are four sets of numbers and letters.
They're die-cut, so they'll look nice, but the door must be smooth to avoid the edges peeling.
The following items are included in the kits: There are four sets of A- Z, 0- There are a total of 146 decals in this set.
I bought the brown/tan stickers and put them on a 2016 Alumacraft jon boat, and they went well with the olive drab green color of the boat. To answer your question, they are tan in color rather than gold in color.

My boat's registration numbers needed to be replaced, so I did so. I ordered these because they appeared to be a good product. They come in a clam shell package, which is very attractive. They stand at a height of three inches. The vinyl itself is on the "thin" end of the spectrum - They should've been a little thicker, in my opinion. Because the backing was cut when the letters/numbers were cut, some of the numbers/letters I needed to use were difficult to remove from the backing. I had to pull a little to get the vinyl to separate on some other numbers and letters because it wasn't cut all the way through. I was afraid of stretching or distorting the vinyl because of its "thinness. " Fortunately, I didn't, or at least I don't believe I did. It was simple to use this product. On the boat, they look great. Because of the issues with the cutting and thinness of the product, I gave them four stars.
Putting the letters on was a fairly simple task; all I had to do was do a lot of prep work, which I did as follows: br>br>scrape old letters with a razor blade acetone to remove all of the old glue (be careful not to scrape off your registration stickers or other permit stickers that may still be valid, as I did!). DOH! With your painters' tape roll, cut the letters you need out, but cut the outside part with scissors with the instructions. After cutting the letters, you put square cards on, and nothing happens, except for the vinyl letters sticking out like mushrooms. It will easily peel off, leaving only the letters attached to the tapebr>clean the boat surface with alcohol to remove residuebr>now apply the letters to the boat and rub on the tape and letters to ensure they stick to the boatbr>now carefully peel off the tape from the surface, after which you can use a rag to rub the letters some more to ensure any bubbles are removedbr>don't use a credit card or anything hard, you'll scrape off the protectibr>don.
Because you only get four of each character, check your letters/numbers carefully for duplicates. In my case, I needed three of the same numbers (due to the vessel's two sides) - As a result, I had to go out and buy a second pack while waiting for the first to arrive.
The other digits stayed put, but all four 9s and U's didn't seem to have the same level of adhesion, and they all fell off, rendering the numbers that stayed put meaningless. I'll contact the company and keep you updated on what they decide to do to rectify the situation. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> I sent a message to the company, and they promptly responded. They sent me replacement decals that were noticeably better quality, and they've been working perfectly ever since. A fantastic product with even better customer service!.
I purchased the item so that I could add a registration number to my kayak. I returned to kayak 3 hours later to discover that the stickers had already started to peel. The adhesive on the stickers does not appear to be designed for polyethylene plastic kayaks. The letter design is appealing to me. After I applied the stickers, it looks fantastic. I was a bit let down.
I stuck some of the off cuts to my filthy old winch line (seatbelt material) and they're still there after being used and dunked in saltwater. They won't be able to get off your boat if it sticks to the cloth like that. If you do your homework, you'll be able to make it work. I would recommend a quick clean with window cleaner followed by a thorough cleaning with wax and grease remover to ensure that you never have to deal with this problem again.
On my jet ski, I had a set of these that lasted a long time. It was simple to replace them; all you needed was WD40. It's attractive, and the individual letters (rather than the common blocks) make it easier to align and make it look good.
I'm furious. We've been anticipating the arrival of these letters. We noticed that the other plastic packed for the letters was damaged as soon as we opened the Amazon package, which was plastic. It appears that either these letters were used and returned, or the package was ruined by water. The stickers have been adhered to the packaging. Some of the numbers can't even be removed from the package because white stuff is stuck to the black and red. Time and money were both wasted.
