Default Air Bridge Decal Help

Several months ago, I read a thread that was talking about a new air bridge decal that was not the typical vinyl sticker. The thread said it was a better fit, made of a clear plastic-type resin and basically a peel-and-stick application Can anyone tell me where I can view this decal? Thank you...

If you go on Ebay and search for corvette decals, it will take you to a decal shop that has all of the standard corvette decals in all color combinations.

I dont know if they offer an air bridge decal, but, this vendor has a different product from most decals.

I tried 2 of the 3D air bridge decals. Neither one of them would stick, even after throughly cleaning and prepping the area. Maybe others have had better luck.

I ended up picking up the Duplicolor scratch fix touch up paints (1 in Torch Red and 1 in White). They can be applied with the small brush or the ball point pen type applicator at the top. I used the ball point tip to paint the white flags and red areas of the logo. Turned out great and only costs about $9.

I can take some pictures tonight, but to be honest I haven't taken the time to figure out how to post pictures yet. If someone can put them up I would be happy to email them to you.

Thanks,
Ron

Default Thank you for the feedback

The 3D decal is exactly what I was looking for. I had a paint shop sand, prime and paint my airbridge, so the issue with adhesion shouldn't be a problem, the surface is baby-bottom smooth. Thanks again for the responses. Shayne

I've had the standard decal application on for a couple of months. Still there, still looks good. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
