DECALS.

[kpthorsefan 34]

Hi all, I have just got a set of decals for my c141 from terry ( vinylguy ), before i attempt to apply them are there any tips on doing so. I dont want to mess them up after getting this far with the restore. Many thanks.. :USA:

I have installed several sets of Terrys great decals and it just takes a steady hand, Rick

Temp place the hood decals and find the center and mark the decal and the hood so you put it where you want it. Same with the others.

Good idea. I'm a ways off of putting my vinylguy decals on the 1077, but I had the same question as kpthorsefan had on tips for placing the decals accurately. Thanks

There are also a lot of good instructional videos on You Tube.

Just do a search for "vinyl decal application". (or installation)

Cool - thanks. Just watched a few. Never knew you could apply them wet with water and a drop of dish soap sprayed out of a spray bottle.

I've installed decals that way for the last twenty years. It sure makes the final repositioning a breeze. Just squeegee out the excess water/soap mix when your done.

Just been on you tube it was a great help . And to you all for the help. I will have a go at the weekend all being well.

Ihave managed to fit the decals today and they went on ok i will post better pictures later, its pooring down with rain and the light in the garage is not to good so i had to use the flash on the camera. still got a few odds and ends to fit then its the engine and electrics.

Its stopped raining and the sun is out . Here are some better pictures.

Looks familiar! Glad you got those hood decals on the right way, sometimes folks put them on backwards and then it is too late!

Nice job!!! :USA:

Nice job!!!

Its funny you should say that because when putting them on i did notice that on the right hand hood decal the wheelhorse logo was facing the other way round to the one i had taken off, even on my c121 its the same. Has anybody else noticed it, just curious.

[C-Series14 15]

Now THAT is interesting!!!! I will have to look at all of mine....

That is a real nice looking horse there. Your decals look great.

I'm kinda old school when it comes to decals. I always use water and dish soap, and it works everytime. I have ruined far less decals since embracing this procedure many years ago.
