To sticker or not to sticker?
 
Hi Folks,

Does anyone use the stock sticker sheets that come with these trucks? I've got a Grand Hauler build going and got the body painted to my liking. I've started to apply the stickers but they look just horrible. You of course have to cut them and then apply. Many of them have very thin lines that will tear if you remove too much surrounding film and their very difficult to remove from the backing.

I like the graphics but it's the surrounding film that just looks awful. Seems it would take a lot clear coat to cover it up and there's no way I can trim every little curve and point. Any advice or should I just skip them?

Thanks,

NP

I haven't used them on any of my trucks
But if you want the stickers from the kit you could take them to a sign shop and get them to scan and print then on decal paper that way they are thin enough to clear coat on the truck.....

Cheers Tracy

Thanks Cossett. I'm going to skip them for now.
