Slixx Decals ?


Recommended Posts

I've been using Slixx for Years with no problems the latest set I used a few of them disintegrated after hitting the water, has anyone else had this happen? could they have been old ( I just got them a month ago)How's their Customer Service? Like I said I've used them before and never had this happen. I'm gonna call Monday but I'm just curious.

Good company to deal with. I would say contact them let them now your issue and if they have the decals in question in stock they will most likely replace them. Flouresant inks seem to do this the most. They had two years I believe of printing issues. Think it was 1997/98 and 2000/01. I now it it isnt exact but its one of those years.

It was 2001 when Slixx had the issues. PRetty much any decal from that time will not work.

Here is a really cruddy picture of a 2001 Slixx decal that did not work. I never bothered decaling the rest of the car.

By the way, the trouble runs into the end of 2000 and the beginning of 2002 as well.

And then, of cource, you will have just the odd decal that will be bad, and not part of an overall large problem.

Decals that are printed on white paper are more likely to have issues then decals printed on blue paper.

Age of the decal doesn't really matter, although 99% of people will tell you it does. I've used decals more then 30 years old with no problem other then the carrier turning yellow.

with problems with decals coming apart like that is why you should always coat your decals with this product.

It keeps the decal together. The finish is what ever the decal you are applying is. If the decal you are using is

glossy your finish will be glossy. If it is matt it will be matt when dry. You can airbrush it or even brush it on

it levels off and you have no brush marks.
