replacing decals on all 4 sides of trailer

Forest River told me the 2010 decals would not fit. I am going to remove them in the spring and hope for the best. We do have a powerwasher so that should help. Thank you all for the advice!

We had problems with our 2007 KZ Spree decals cracking several years ago. Based on what I had read on this forum, I took head on photos of all 4 sides and found a graphic sign shop that would make new matching decals. We got to pick the material so we picked the highest quality. The sign company removed and installed the new graphics.

Stupid question, but on wood-sided RVs with the thin clear fiberglass laminate, is it common to find the decals ABOVE the fiberglass? I always assumed they were underneath the clear layer, but I guess it's cheaper and easier to slap them on top.

Why not put the 2010 graphics that are available on it? How about the 2016 graphics? Give it a face lift!

The manufacturer can only stock so much stuff. After a few years the old stock goes to auction.

Probably because there will be ghosting where the old graphics were.
Real pain to polish out. I replaced almost all of mine a couple of years ago.

won't help you here, but we ordered our new trailer without graphics so we don't encounter this problem again.

My decals are shot on all sides and I'm thinking of painting them after I remove the old. I have have some serious fading going on under them so why not just paint them.

Since I have the outlines of the old decals I was thinking of using some pinstripe tape to use as borders before painting but all the pinstripe tape I see is very thin making it difficult to keep over spray off the campers sides.

Blue painters tape is useless, won't bend.

Lastly, what rattle can spray would you recommend? Semi-gloss?

Thanks

I'm with the bear II on this. I removed ours and the only way they would ever go back on under our ownership would be painted. The decals didn't hold up the first time so I sure don't want them the second time.

I would check into having graphics painted on

Or remove the decals and leave it blank...that's what we did
