Replacement Decals
Does anyone know where i can find replacement decals for a 2005 montana 3400 RL? They are peeling badly, i have googled, and found a place that used to make them but is no longer in business.
Thanks in advance....
Roy

Burlington Graphics used to supply the graphics. Several people on here have gotten them from them in the past. They are not supplying them at this time for some reason. Some people have also had some luck calling Keystone. I’m not sure if they would help out on an 05 model but it wouldn’t hurt to check with them.

That was the one i was looking at that said they were no longer doing replacements. I figure being a 2005 model, that i will be out of luck with keystone. I will give that a try though...
If in case that this leads to a dead end, does anyone have advise on custom work? My camper is in great shape except for this and it is really starting to bug me..
Thanks Bill-N_Donna...

Earlier this year, Ozz made contact with Keystone and received some valuable instructions on pursuing replacement graphics. While your rig is a lot older it can't hurt to contact them. Check out this posting:

I have a 2005 2955rl and tried unsuccessfully for two years at the fall rally to get replacement graphics from Keystone. I was told the graphics are unavailable.

i know it might not be an option to all, i painstakinly taped and papered around mine as they peeled and painted a deep burgandy then when it dried i lightly sprayed over it with a silver, then clear coat. took a couple windless days but they sure turned out nice. not identical, but they are all the same on the curb side, so unless you were specifically looking for it, you'd never notice. I used the ghost from the old sticker left on the side to tape around. if graphics ever become availible down the road, you could cover them.

Just a thought but if the decals are no longer available why not replace them with newer ones? I know the sides should be matching but what's wrong with a different front decal?

On my 2005, decals were ok except for the front cap. I removed all the decals, and had the cap sprayed white. Then $150 to a local guy who painted a generic mountain, and Montana Logo and then covered with clearcoat. Looked good.

I have wondered about painting.... What kind of paint do you use? Would it be different on the sides than the front cap?
Thanks.

If a set of decals is removed, say, if ohhh, 4 years old, it will leave a shadow.
The new decals will not cover all of the shadows.
There is a unit here with just that situation.
Owner is happy, I am not so sure I would be. Personal take on it.

I had this company install a front decal on my 2001 Montana a few years back. I talked to him last week and ask if he could make the decals for the Montana. He said if someone needed them he would see if Montana would let him have a copy of the art work he could make them. He said the decals he makes should last 9 years. If interested here is his web site.

I contacted Burlington Graphics - burlingtongraphics.com - for replacement graphics for my '04 Mounaineer. They did respond with quotes for full and partial sets with pictures of the artwork for verification. I am still reeling from the prices - I think the "naked coach" is looking better all the time. Just pull off the offending artwork, wash, wax and buff well - might not look perfect, but nothing getting old does!
This action was November, 2011. Robyn Hakes @ Keystone put me on to them and responded quite quickly during the inquiry.

In our travels, we see more and more units of all brands that have no graphics- Maybe if enough owners go "naked", the manufacturers will do something to solve this continuing problem- After all, the presence of good graphics is "free" advertising for the manufacturers- JMHO- Don

I think there is enough interesting art work available that when I do remove the front decals I may "think out of the box" and have something more interesting than a Montana logo.
