Bought a sticker of these guys via eBay. Went to stick it on and it's gone and removed some paint. Am not a happy guy.
Just wanted to let you guys know so be warned.

thats a side rear TypeR sticker isn't it?

why did you take it off?

When you fitted it did you not use soapy water to apply and stick it in place?

 

your fitting stickers ??

what about the rot if its on the boot imagine what its like underneath

 

Moral of the story is not to fit stickers

 

Lol I was just gonna post that lol, **** the paint fix the rust before the spoiler falls off

 

Rot? Ah I see what you mean, I thought it was a leaf.

 

Think its more to do with the paint then the sticker to be honest!!

You had/or previous owner had the boot painted???

 

The car is fine underneath. I prepped and cleaned the area properly. At the end of the day I was trying to make other members aware not have my car slagged off!!!

 

Tbh I hadn't thought of that. Only had it 2 months too.

 

it'll be the paint.

 

I've put a sticker central further down the boot. Could it be localised to a certain area?

 

it proves my theory that you cant polish a turd but hey its your motor do whatever makes you happy

 

I'd put it down to poor previous paint tbh...

Thanks for the recommendation OP

 

that sticker above looks really nice Subaru Bits must be a proper business then



OP change the thread title to 'sticker application fail'

 

They polished a turd on Mythbusters once, came up good too!

 

Had stuff off them before , no problems but not related to your problem.

Can you blame the seller of a sticker when it damages your paint when u take it off ? Did u heat it up or anything before attempting to remove it ?

looks more like the car has faded with age and someone has used t cut colour magic on it to dress it up prior to sale and all you've done is pull the polish off the car

 

Stickers are meant to stick, I'm sure OP would be complaining if it came off in a carwash...

 

Just bought mudflaps and decals off them. No problems whatsoever.


I'd agree with the poor paint theory. Unless you used IPA or something that softened the paint before applying.

 

In addition you mounted the sticker completely in the wrong place if you wanted to make it look how it should that sticker or similar to was mounted centrally on the boot on the jdm cars. Just saying.

 

At the end of the day I was trying to be helpful to others. Fair enough I never thought of a paint fault as I never had any probs before and it looked fine to me. But there is no need for insults about my car or anything and I wish I'd never started this thread now!

 

You can roll a turd in glitter, but unfortunately the glitter bit back

 

Admin please delete this as petty childish attitude of some ppl is doin my head in

 

So it's the stickers fault that it is too sticky! Really!

Come on..

Another classic thread by a newby

Why did you buy it and then take it off again ?
