decals

[Slink]

good morning all, any of you that have older montys and the decals are falling apart what are you doing since we can no longer purchase new decals

Clean everything off then keep plain white or paint on a little accent pin striping,maybe a outline of the mountains and the name Montana.
If you reinstall the decals their just going to peel off again!

I went to a graphics shop and had them make new ones. They worked from a photograph of the old ones, and they turned out well. Pricy, though. One side was over $800.00. I have decided if ( when) the front cap goes bad I'll just have an airbrush artist paint an appropriate scene on it, and it won't say Montana anywhere. Ours is a 2006 2955RL.

My decals look like the dickens. i am slowly removing them and will not replace.
I figure that Montana's POOR choice has cost me 1/2 the rigs worth not that at this point it will be worth a lot anyway. It still rankles though. We will be a white ghost.

I'm not paying 1/2 the rig worth to replace them or paint them on.

Thought about ghosting it , but will put something on the front and monty on the back. My raptor was the same only not asbad but then it was 3 years newer

There are 3 or 4 SOBs where I store mine with the same problem. Good friend has SOB TT with the same peeling decals problem. Not just a Montana problem.

And yet there is a same year same floor plan Monte as mine just a few spaces down from mine and his decals look new. But I know they are not as his has been there since new, just like mine has, so I see it frequently. No logical reason some peel and others do not.

Had an 05 raptor before my 08 put the o8 decals on my d3500 which should only go on flat surface but I put it on a double compound curve heat shrunk it and they look like new got 102000 miles on the truck, properly applied they will last a long time, I had a window tinting co. for 25 years and applied the same principiles
