So what are you saying mine painted looks bad?



















In 3 years in the hot florida sun tell me how that decal looks after it's weathered. Then you have a choice crappy looking sticker or peel/chisel that thing off your paint and replace or paint it

Mine starts getting messed up 10 min with a can of flat black and some masking tape and I'm good to go.

Oh yea paint was less than $5 how much is the decal?

I got the top of the line 3M and have had it in the blistering Vegas sun for 3 years and no issues.

i don't know i'd like to paint, but its too pricey to have someone else (i dont have the balls to rattle can my hood on a mint 04 lol). but i got qouted the same price for a Vigg to get my hood Rhinolined or Line-Xed. i just worry if heatsoak will become an issue with truck bed liner....

The photos of decals I've seen look more reflective that flat black paint. And that's the whole point of them, to reduce glare.
Well..for some I suppose it's the bling factor.

For me it was to hide the screw up on the repaint I did on the hood....

That and I wanted it to look a little different.
