Last summer we undertook to replace the lettering on our 2005 Carriage Cameo. We got excellent ideas and suggestions from different members of this forum. A special thanks to ‘falconhunter’ and ‘zim2205’ for their input and suggestions. Ultimately we went with ordering replacement decals (lettering only) from Graphixunlimited and putting them on ourselves. We used a 3M product, Woodgrain and Adhesive Remover, to remove the old decals (or what was left of them). It was a bit messy and you had to be careful to try and limited over-spray, but it worked exceptionally well. The decals themselves were very easy to apply – it took us maybe an hour to do all four. The large one on the front, and the 2
along the sides and the 1 on the back. The price was very reasonable – $160 US, which translated into $215 CDN and with brokerage fees it all came to $268 CDN. What it did, however, was knock about 10 years off the appearance of our Carriage. WELL, WORTH IT and not a big job. We considered doing the striping/swirls as well but they were quite a bit more expensive. Graphixunlimited were exceptional to deal with. I will try to attached pictures, showing before and after. A small job — big results! All made possible because of this forum.
