- Why does your products cost so much, aren't they just stickers?
No, they are not just stickers. Stickers are cheap and do not last. You may find the same decals on an intermediate vinyl with no lamination for half price. This will be a short term product that will not last. Our decals are made from the highest quality and most expensive vinyl in the industry. The are printed with a thermal printer and then laminated with a extra layer of 3M UV laminate. This protects they decals from the harsh elements such as the saltwater, sun, gasoline, and cleaning supplies. Our decals will out last the stock decals and are a fraction of the price.

- How do I remove the old decals without damaging the paint finish?
Usually just good old fashioned picking and peeling is what it takes to get the decal off and then some goo-off or any other adhesive remover to get the adhesive residue off. A few things that may help is, a plastic putty knife to chip the flaky decal off, or a drill with a rubber wheel can also be used to remove old decals. Heat from a heat gun or hair dryier sometimes helps a little as well. When the decal and adhesive is removed be sure to clean the surface with rubbing alcohol before installation of the new decals.

- I need a custom color. Can you match it?
Color matching can be challenging. We cannot match colors from pictures on the web. Computer monitors do not show accurate colors because each monitor's color settings are different. You must either send us a sample for us to match or choose a color from the standard colors we have in stock. If you would like a free sample of a color or colors please let us know.

If you do not see the color you need just place the order for the decal you need in another color and make me a note with your payment to inform us of the color change.

- I do not see a decal kit for my bike or outboard engine. Can you make it?
Yes, we may be able to work with you to recreate the stock decals for your bike or outboard engine cowling. If you are interested you will need to send us a tracing of your original decals and mail them to us. We will recreate them and give you a discount on your first set of decals. Please contact us for details.

- I received my decals and noticed that one of the decals is BENT. Do I need a replacement?
No, most likely this will not affect the decal after installation. Just flatten the decal out and remove the wax paper backing and apply the decal as normal. Unless the decal is severely creased, you will not see any sign of the bend after the decal is applied. If this process does not work for you, please let us know and we will send you a replacement decal.

- My original decals have curled and peeled off. Will your decals eventually curl and peel as well?
No, our decals will not curl or peel as long as they are applied correctly. Our decals are made from 3M vinyl which is an 8 year plus vinyl and is the longest lasting most expensive vinyl you can buy. We print on the 3M vinyl and then laminate the decal with an additional layer of clear 3M vinyl. This adds life and protects the decal from the elements such as salt water, gasoline and cleaning products. To apply the decal correctly, clean the engine cowl and remove any wax residue. The surface should be clean and wax-free before application.

- I received my decals and noticed the application instruction sheet is stuck to the back of a decal. Do I need a replacement?
No, most likely this problem can be fixed by following this procedure. First remove the wax paper backing from the decal. Then remove the paper application instruction sheet that has stuck to the decal. You will most likely be left with some paper fragments stuck to the back of the decal that will need to be removed. To clean this you will need to spray the sticky side of the decal with soapy water and scrap paper residue off the decal with your finger nail until it is all gone. This is the same soapy water used for wet application (2 drops of dish soap to 1 liter of water). You are now finished and can either apply the decal to the bike or let it dry and stick it back on the wax paper backing for future installation. If this process does not work for you please let us know and we will send you a replacement decal.

- Your decals look exactly like the factory decals but will it last as long?
Our decals will out last the factory decals. Our decals are superior to the factory decals because they are printed on the highest quality and most expensive 3M vinyl and laminated with a heavy duty 3M 4mil laminate. You will not find a better longer lasting decal and our customers will vouch for that.

- Can your decals be clear coated?
Yes, many customers clear coat our decals after installation. Automotive clear coat will give the decals a true factory look and protect them against peeling and fading.
