Sand it off, plastic prime, I used a aerosol of Septone acrylic gloss black, if u are going to paint the strips on, clear coat over the lot of it. Also use a little of wax and grease remover as well. Or if you want to be a bodgy **** use abit of thinners on a rag and wipe off the paint but be careful as the thinners will also melt the plastic Quote: Originally Posted by Wyndup they use a thick sticker factory.... Yeah it gives the strips a nice depth when it's new but looks like **** when it has been in the sun and yellows thats why I chose the paint option

Taking nothing away from what youve done coz it looks mint but just letting VLC03T that RB revolution sells the stickers for $40 or so.
