Decal replacement.

I've ordered a set of factory decals from Crossroads to replace the decals on one side of my fw that have cracked and faded. Is removing and apllying decals for the novice or should I just pay someone else to do it? If I get someone else to do it what should I expect to pay for labor?

Now everybody go back and look at the OP's original questions!

I would not try to do it myself and I have no clue as to what would be a fair wage for doing it.

My thoughts and plans, exactly. My graphics are in bad shape. I'm planning on removing mine, taping off the shadows that are left and getting a fairly inexpensive air brush sprayer to paint mine back on. No more cheap decals for me!

Our where coming off within 6 months of buying new. It was obviously an installation issue. If they come off again then we will look at possibly painting. However, if they continue to be warranty they can continue to replace them.

I'm no longer under warranty so this is coming out of my pocket. My fw sets under a cover (pole barn type) but gets sun on one side, the other side still looks new. After I do get these replaced I plan on shading that side some how.

Ours on the TT are being replaced by Monaco under warranty. They are sitting at the dealers waiting for good weather and when we want to give up the TT when warm weather arrives.

Ours were all replaced under the factory warranty by Crossroads except three of them. Those went South after the warranty and were cracked and faded. I don't know what someone would charge you to do it but I can tell you replacing the finally three on ours was no fun.
