Colorado Decals

Post by Miiqqula »

I'm already thinking about the next build, and as one option I thought the 993 GT2 racing version of Porsche's different decals. I was already researching the decals I had already ordered. The decals look good, but their installation instructions do not give the impression of a good set.

So I ask, does anyone have experience with the decals of that company? Should something special be considered?

pretty poor form that it doesn't come with instructions. I'd imagine that they'd be the same as any other waterslide decal, maybe try the smaller decals first as a test subject before moving onto the larger ones.

They have some really nice decals, Ive got a GT2 on order and am tempted to get some decals for it from them, first time I've heard of this company. Keep us posted on how you go with them as that will help me decide whether to buy them or not :lol: :lol:

If they are what you need, get them and test the redundant decals like name and stuff in the lower R corner
Try those out in a similar painted surface to give you an idea how they will work
I would also suggest Ultimate’s trio of decal setting solution and practice with them
They were integral in getting these wrinkly old decals to work for me
