Provide us with the diameter of your life ring and what text you would like to appear in each of the four quadrants. We will pre-arc the text to fit within the allowed space, taking in consideration the 2″ Solas tape, and we supply 2″ Black lettering, per your Coast Guard Coatings and Color Manual and per Commandant approved requirements. We will provide custom lettering that does not meet Commandant requirements, if we are requested to, but prefer to stick to your printed Manual when possible. Each quadrant of lettering comes in one piece and ready to apply. Just peel the clear backing and place on the ring, smooth out making sure the adhesive had stuck to the surface and then remove the top masking.
