Skull-1 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Oh man...the clear decal film I used to print some custom decals appears to have yellowed slightly. I'm not sure if this is due to the clear coat or to the film. Are there decal films that tend to yellow? I know MONOGRAM was notorious for this in years past. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

big F Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Oh no Could be the Clear coat has reacted to them, may also be the clear coat is not so clear, or it could be reacting to U.V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 That stinks man. IF there aren't any white or other fadable colors, some time in direct sunlight might bleach them out believe it or not (not too hot to melt or warp the plastic). That's what you do with old decal sheets, hang them in the sun to bleach them out. It takes a few days. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yup, you can bleach out most any decal sheet with a few days (or weeks, depends) in the sun. Just tape them to the window. Though there's not many aftermarket decals that I know to yellow---ATP and Xtracolor often have the PAPER yellow, but leave the film/decal fine. Mainly sucky Revellogram decals that yellow, and Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
