Well I guess I can mention all the different types of decals on the market. Many are digital printed (designed for office books) very few are screen printed.
Many are imported and not many made in Australia. Here is a pic of a decal. China import. A bloke fitted it to his car. tried many many times with new ones. All from the same supplier. Who will remain unnamed.
He was cleaning it correctly etc etc. No reason why it should have have stuck. It was a freshly painted surface even. He would stick it. It would look great. Then when he came out in the morning this is what it looked like. Seems its made from poor quality vinyl is all I can think.
I gave him a couple of mine to try. First one stuck and hasn't come unstuck since. He did nothing different with application.
I guess Im biest but thought I may as well share it.
On other repro parts. I find some of the larger companies like the Rare Spares, their parts seem to be good. But it seems they do not have the time to get every little thing 100%. Which is fair enough. Some of the little guys out there specializing in a curtain style of part being plastics, rubber, decals, etc you see to be able to get a better quality part. Sometimes you pay a little more, sometimes they are cheaper.
Cheers
