bansh_88 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I have just bought new fenders and placed brand new factory decals on them. I am looking to preserve these decals the best that I can and am hoping to find clear decals somewhere to which I can stick over top of the factory Yamaha decals protecting them from scrapes, scratches, and peeling. I have tried contacting custom decal makers for such an item, but they all require orders that are 50-100 stickers minimum to be placed. But the problem is that I only need a few and not a large order like they require. So does anyone know where I can find some clear decals to stick over my brand new factory stickers that I just placed onto brand new fenders? If I can find huge sheets of it which I can cut to custom sizes myself, that would be absolutely fine. I just need some way to cover these factory decals to preserve them as best I can from wear and tear and peeling off. Thanks!!!!! Quote
Jereme6655 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Uhhhhhh.... What? Ive never heard of anyone doin this AT ALL. If your really serious then i guess you could see if a vinyl supplier for graphic companies sells clear..... Quote
pumarat Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 My buddies got a collection of old 250rs and 350xs and he clear vinyls the whole fenders. Its similar to the shit they put on high-end cars hoods to protect paint. I've seen a yellow ferrari that was completely done in it.He works at a exhibt company and takes "leftovers" home but I'm sure you could find something in a serch directed towards cars. Quote

bansh_88 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys. I just want to clarify my question a bit. I have attached factory OEM Yamaha decals to brand new fenders and I just was wondering if there was anything out there to apply over them as a means of protecting them from being scratched up and/or worn off in some manner. I am certainly one of those guys who prefers not sticking unsightly stickers all over fenders (which I think looks ridiculous in most cases), but please do realize that I am simply just sticking factory Yamaha Banshee stickers to the fenders as Yamaha originally has done as I am trying to restoring my quad as best as I can. So, I just wanted to clear that up a bit that I agree that stickers are usually an eye-sore, but again, I am just trying to restore the quad back to Yamaha factory look while adding a layer of protection over the factory decals. Thanks again guys. Any further ideas as to where one can find such a decal or a sheet of large clear vinyl decals that I can cut as needed would be greatly appreciated.

Infamous039 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I purchased a sheet of these vinyl for my custom painted fenders, because I don't want them to get damaged by the gas tank where you legs tuck against the frame. I purchase 3M Scotch Guard Vinyl Paint Protection Film, it comes in a sheet and self adhesive I think I paid $10 shipped for it on Ebay. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 I would just go to a local vynal decal place and buy clear in sheet form. Question wouldn't the clear decal stick to the oem stickers and rip them when you try to replace the clear? Quote
Jereme6655 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 i would think so.....however i guess you could very cautiously almost "paint" exactly over each sticker with something like wd-40 or another type of oil to keep the adhesive on the back of the clear vinyl from sticking... Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 3M makes a really good chip preventing film that works really well. Call a good auto body supply shop. Quote
amstall Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 x2. Just search ebay for ventureshild or scotchgard film, they're got a bunch of different shapes and sizes. Quote
