Failed on Friday

OEM CTR DECAL

I tried to install my CTR decals on Friday, but it didn’t go as planned. Thanks to the ceramic coating, I failed miserably. HAHA.

Before attempting this, I spoke to Javier and asked what I should do if I needed to strip the ceramic coating to install some decals. Neither of us realized just how tough this coating would be. Following his advice, I cleaned the area with 70% alcohol, dried it, and used a heat gun.

The decal went on smoothly and seemed to stick. I made another pass with the heat gun across the entire decal, but when I went to peel off the transfer layer, the whole decal came up with it.

And voilà…

epic fail 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣

    Depending on what coating you used, you would at least need to compound and polish first to remove it. Then wipe with 50/50 alcohol and water. After applying decal, and exposing to the sun, you can then re-apply coating.

      Thanks for that Fellow, I spoke to him about it. Because I want to install some other things too I’ll have him strip a few areas.
