** Custom Decals – Wax Question **

Posted by Jon D. on March 19, 2003 at 05:01:21:

Well folks, I took off the Suzuki decals and put on my own custom-cut tribal flames. It’s not show quality, but I think it looks pretty good. Please give me your feedback by visiting my web site. Go to Tips & How-Tos ----> Tribal Flames Decals. I have tips there to help you if you decide to do this type of thing to your bike.

*I do need some help.* The pointy edges of the decals are making the bike hard to wash. They catch fibers from the washcloth and appear to be lifting a little. I decided I’ll wash the bike with white t-shirts from now on, but the lifting potential from this really has me concerned.

Does anyone have any advice about a *good thick wax* or other method that I could use to hold down the decals and smooth out the edges? I don’t know how to paint clear coat and that may be too permanent. I may want to redo the graphics sometime.

I just fear that the decals will lift and look horrible within a short period of time.
