    I got the bride to print these on some cheapo decal sticky paper, the problem is its not sticking to good and lifts in places so does anyone have any suggestions on how to make them stick to paint? better paper? its an inkjet printer so I don't know if the printer would work on them water paper ones

    I don't got the loot to go get them painted on so its this or nothing and I kind of like them:eek: so any help would be appreciated

    I've seen lots of other pinup girl decals but they are all facing one way and I haven't seen them in pairs if you know what I mean? they's go on both door panels and I want them both to face forward instead of one front the other back

    thanks
     
  2. A good spray adhesive should handle it. 3M Super 77 would be my suggestion.

    would the overspray clean up or does it dry clear and forget about it?

  7. Spray the back of the decal and slap her on. If you also want to go over it, clearcoat would be a good solution, as the Swede said.

    I am Sales Rep. for a label printing company. We have a full inventory of all kinds of label materials - from Paper to Poly and from "Post-it" note type adhesives to tire label adhesive (that blue gooey ****) I would use a clear overlaminate on top of what you are printing for durability and protection.
    PM your address to me and I can send you some stuff to use.
