DC5R Decal

[silverspoon]

Hi guys just wanted your thoughts on a project I'm about to undertake.

Problem: My car needs a whole respray due to damage inflicted by the previous owner ( I finally got the cash, place and time to get this done) Body work has been filled sanded and all that is left is the paint to go on. However heres my dilemma. I'm sure most DC5R owners would have a particular "Integra type R" decal on the rear fenders of their car. Now most likely I'm going to have to remove them but are there alternatives and does anyone know where to get them from? I was planning to paint around it at one stage but since my car is silver not such a wise idea I've been told.

Just after your opinion on whether to keep or ditch the decals?

Cheers

definitely remove them if your doing a respray.

Dude... i had my car resprayed fully.. i can show you photos if you want..
Decals were removed aswell as all BADGES and then everything was re-instated.
Seriously, remove them.. Ain't hard to put them back on, make sure the panel shop gets photos of everything.. where they are etc etc...
So that way when placing them back on its a breeze.
PM me for photos if u want

Like most of the guys said they should be able to put the decals and badges back nicely. And its quite easy to buy the decals.

Yea thats the plan then to remove them. Thing is I got my workplace to do the job but I have have to do all the prep work. Just a question out of curiosity, if I were to stick them back on after the paint job would I put them on before or after the clear coat? As I plan to do some vinyl stickers of some kind. Is there any easy way to remove then other than some wax and grease remover?

ahh... aren't you a panel beater??

My dad was, he was a spray painter too before the fumes got the best of him. Guess I'm just starting to learn the family trade just wish I had more time. The cost of painting a car is all in the prep work. Btw I do agree the car does look better with them off, its just that I'm in a restoration mood.

I would if I could dude, but he has since left this life since I bought my ITR, hence the past tense.
