AeroGraphics out of CO is the one I've used the most. As to material, the benchmark is 3M aviation vinyl.
So long as the decals aren't added to flight control surfaces or cover the entire aircraft similar to a wrap, then all can be done under prevent mx to include the sign-off. If you want to include installing them on or partially on flight control surfaces then you'll need a mechanic for any control balance checks, etc.
Higher Graphics did my new N-numbers and I'm very happy with the way turned out. They were very responsive.
Just because something is covered under PM doesn't mean it doesn't need a maintenance entry. There's a difference between performing maintenance and servicing an aircraft. Adding fuel, oil, washing is servicing. Painting is maintenance and requires log entries.
Not quite. Washing your aircraft is not considered maintenance, preventive or otherwise, for the simple reason its not listed in Part 43 Appdx A. Neither is cleaning in general, fueling, or adding oil which is why a line boy can perform the task without a write up. They all fall under what the FAA considers a pre-flight task. And there's guidance to support that. However, when you get to the "decorative coating of fuselage" and similar items you do elevate to a maintenance item which in this case falls under prevent mx where the work and required sign off falls under a pilot's certificate.
I have a guy doing vinyl stickers for my RV7. I have US roundels being printed at 34” x whatever.
So if you pick up an EAA sticker at Oshkosh and put it on your plane, you need a logbook entry?
What do you think? How about for a 6'x6' "sticker" in the context of the OP?
6 foot by 6 foot? His post said 6x6 with no designation on inches feet yards or miles.
Most of the exterior decal questions I've been asked over the years dealt with large decals, so I answered in that context, ie., 6'x6'. Not much to discuss or offer on a 6"x6" decal.
