Default How do decals hold up?

I'm thinking of using the decals that came with my Grave Robber but I'm wondering. How do they hold up to the bashing? The ones that came on my stock Savage 25 body are still holding on strong, but I didn't put them on. What do you think?

As long as the body is clean when you apply them they usually last quite awhile.

Where they are installed matters too. If they can be scraped off in flips, rollovers and upside down slides then they'll soon look like crap. Also try to keep them away from where fuel and oil can get on them. Other than that they do pretty good.

A good trick byte figured out is: to get the decal exactly where you want it, spray a little windex on the spot where the decal is going. This will allow you to slide the decal around untill its where you want it. Once it dries it wil hold on just as well as if you had applied it dry.

Nice. That's how you install window tint on 1:1 cars too.
