weird one this...

Del is doing me some custom decals for my new Supercross as I wasn't really feeling the ones on there.

Peeled off the old ones this morning in a 'ahhh f**K it stop ummin and ahharin and do it' type way...

This frame must have a been ex-display or something as now the stickers have gone you can see the shapes of the decals bleached into the neon green paint of the frame...  :( I will do a pic in a bit... but short of a re-powder is there anything that can be done?  :-\

I guess I already know the answer  :-[

Munnyella:
t cut might bring up the rest of the paint a bit, and leave it in the sun, should we get a bit!

Dayglo paint is a bu66er for fading, look at the dynorod vans. unstable pigments or some such guff.

Raw it!!

ED209:
can't you say bugger?

Munnyella:
I didn't think it was allowed, I know you can't say gentlemans relish, see!

I would say that bugger is worse than that!!!

why? waht does bugger mean Mark?  ???

anyway... T-Cut isn't doing a thing... its under the laquer in the paint so short of getting Del to remake the ones I've just taken off or getting a respray I'm buggered (  :) )

Any grounds in getting onto Supercross and asking what the deal is? it it was a new frame fresh out the box it wouldn't be the cash - deffo an ex display model... they should help out on the respray costs I reckon  :rant:
