Decals

Is your boat missing its registration letters, does your vehicle need a clear number, or do you want to protect the screen on your Cobb AccessPORT V3? In this category we bring together decals and films: 3-inch letter sets in several colours, 4-inch numbers with a glossy finish and anti-glare film with a cleaning kit.

Letters, numbers and protective film

Decals are self-adhesive markings for identification, numbering or protection. From Hardline we offer, for example, registration kits with 3-inch-high letters in variants such as solid white, solid blue, beige/black, red/black and silver/black, as well as Dirt Digits – 4-inch numbers in gloss black, sold in packs of three. For tuning equipment there is the Cobb AccessPORT V3 anti-glare film with cleaning kit, which can reduce glare and protect the screen from scratches. In this category you will also find brands such as Ford Racing, GReddy, Renthal and Kuryakyn.

How to choose decals

The right choice depends on where the marking will go and what it needs to do:

• Size: The character height must suit the surface and any requirements. Rules for boat registration depend on the country and vessel, so check them before you order.
• Contrast: Choose a colour that stands out clearly against the background. Two-tone variants with black can make the text easier to read from a distance.
• Surface: The surface must be clean, dry and grease-free for the adhesive to bond. The temperature during application can also affect the result.
• Contents: Check which characters and how many the set contains, so you are not missing a letter or number.

If your project needs more details, also take a look at emblems, moldings and the rest of decals, moldings and trim.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply decals without air bubbles?

Clean the surface with a degreaser and let it dry completely. Mark the position with masking tape and press the decal on from the centre out towards the edges with a soft squeegee. Small bubbles can often be pressed out afterwards.

Do the letter sets meet the registration requirements for my boat?

That depends on the country, the type of vessel and the specific rules for letter height, colour and placement. Check the requirements with the relevant authority and compare them with the size and colour of the part number you choose.

What does the anti-glare film for the Cobb AccessPORT V3 do?

The film is applied over the screen and can reduce glare in sunlight as well as protect against scratches. The cleaning kit is used to get the screen completely clean before application, so no dust is trapped under the film.
