then go to a body shop supply store with your paint code...they should be able to get you rattle can base coat and clear coat...scuff the decals a little bit with a scotch brite pad and then clean them and follow that up with a little adhesion promoter...then spray away

only thing im having trouble with is the decal paper peels off with the sticky side exposed... i had thought about just painting the stickers but it sounds easier than it acutally is... didnt know if someone had experience with doing this same kind of thing

I don't see anyway to make that happen without having a print shop reprint the decals in a matching vinyl
