Looking to get some good ol fashioned lettering and a boat name to be done with paint and not in vinyl. Anybody have any recommendations near the inland empire or Parker/Havasu area?

..,.When I lived aboard, there was a guy that came around and hand lettered boat transom‘s… He was really good and it wasn’t all that expensive …but I’m sure he is long deceased… Then along came vinyl and changed the whole game🤷🏽‍♀️.., but the diehards still wanted their transoms lettered by hand…

Jimmy C is here in Parker. Look him up on face book or just google him. He's well know around the world not so much on rdp

Here's a couple pix of a car I ran across a few days ago that JImmyC striped. Rat Fink is not an airbrush or a vinyl sticker and yes he is authorized to sign Ed Roth's name. ...or so it appears. :)

This one of a kind custom-painted "Rat Fink" Gretsch was master-built by Stephen Stern, and is based on the G6120DSW Relic platform. The graphic on this one was painted by SoCal artist "JimmyC Kustom Art".

Vinyl is so Dirt Lot. ~ @Riverbound
I agree too it’s embarrassing having vinyl numbers right now. I had bob Thompson do mine years ago on my jet boat. Current boat had painted but when I moved to az I got new numbers. Needs to be fixed maybe I’ll do a havasu trip get them painted and be happy again

Reminds me of a guy we have around here Mitch Kim. Known around the world for his pin striping!

I remember him at the Portland Roadster Shows back in the day

I have a few posters signed by Mitch of some naked ladies he pinstriped. I'll dig them out and take some pics to post tonight.
