Decals on Metal Wind Fairing

[ajspagna]

Hey guys, Iv got a Prinsu Designs Roof Rack on my 07. Its a great low profile, versatile rack. It has a metal wind fairing on the front which I have applied some decals/stickers to. The problemis that some of the stickers have already began to peel, and they have only been on there for 2 weeks. The fairing is powder coated metal, so the surface the stickers are adhering to is not perfectly flat. I think this is part of the problem. Also since the fairing is metal,
and I live in HOTlanta, the metals heats up and makes some of the stickers come off. Some of the stickers are fine and others are peeling. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the stickers on. Maybe a clear coat of some sort. Heres the best pic I have of the fairing (with no decal).

Would look into clear plasti-dip to cover the stickers

Make sure you prep the area you are putting the stickers on to use rubbing alcohol then apply the stickers see how that works

I would probably use a clear-coat spray-paint. A clear vinyl wrap might work, but it might just peel up like your stickers eventually too.

I have the same thing going on with my front fairing. My solution has been to put more stickers on the edges that are peeling...

3M makes a product called vinyl primer that they use to hold on vinyl wraps on cars. Might try some of that. From my understanding it acts sort of like a glue to fill gaps in an uneven surface.

Use a heat gun to really conform the sticker to the fairing...
