Sinista32 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi. A Question I can't find the answer to using the search function. Quality vinyl decals. Can you take them off after a few years and do they wreck your paint/clear coates ? If so is it easily repairable with a fine/medium cut and polish ? My R32 GTR is garaged daily if that makes a difference. Looking for something like this: to put on something like that Edit: After posting I thought I'd go off and play with Paint.net to mock this hack up.

INFLYTmelb Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi Mate, being a signwriter by trade, and having install graphics to 100s of vehicles throughout the years, id say, IF quality vinyls are used, and the application is done correctly, you shouldn't have any issues. upon removal, you'll need Prepsol, cloths, and some patience, and the panels will come up good as new. I recommend getting a professional installer to do the job, to ensure its done to a high standard. Any more questions, feel free to ask Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418754-nismo-vinyl-side-decals-on-off/#findComment-6726215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

INFLYTmelb Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 yeah, the 'Holosheen' film, which is 'foil based' so to speak. it'll go 'yellow' within 6mths, depending on the UV and heat exposure it comes into contact with, and personally, i HATE using it, i hate working with it, becuase its very thick, not like the premium vinyls that we use. It aint that great. And another thing, DONT EVER apply it directly to paintwork, always put a black or colour underneath it, or prepare to repaint the panel(s) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418754-nismo-vinyl-side-decals-on-off/#findComment-6727094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunky Munky Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Racing decals and stickers are a thing of the past !! Suggest you not do anything to it!

RusH_ Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 One thing to consider Sinista, is that if your car gets a lot of sun/UV and you leave the graphics on for a long period of time, it is likely that when you remove it you will notice the difference in paint fade as the paint under the graphics will look newer than the paint around it. I'm not 100% but i think a cut and polish may solve that issue should it occur...

ShyBoi Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I've had vinyls on the side of my car for 4 years, no issues when they were removed from paint. It all depends on current paint condition when you apply it. Mine was freshly painted, so had good clear coat on it.
