i kinda gotta stupid question if anyone would entertain it. After using blow dryer and fingernail method to remove decals, can they be stuck back on? Some of my decals have the slightest wrinkle in the middle of the sticker and I can't seem to let it go.

It's a gamble. It will peel back and can be restuck, but it might not stick as well. It really depends on the adhesive. Don't let it get dirty while its peeled back and you should be okay.

When i peeled up the decals they were stuck down pretty well and i was unable to peel and decal off whole. I would leave it unless you are plaining on re-decaling the whole piece that you want to fix. Its going to be a lot of work if you accidentally rip the decal apart.

I am currently in California for school but I am going home this summer for a couple months and was thinking that if anyone wants me to repair their fairings I would be glad to take on some work, I am going to need some money and i thought that it would be a good way to help people out and make some cash on the sides. There is only so much you can do to repair stuff though, so if you want me to consider repairing send me pictures of the fairings ect. you want fixed. I don't know if im going to be working at the paint shop though so I can fix the damage and primer but thats probably going to be it sorry.

Pricing will vary depending on damage, and how much work will be needed. PM me or e-mail me if interested. Just putting it out there, I thought it might be fun to do some of this on the side. Also the more prep work you do before you send them to me the cheaper the price, i.e stripping decals paint ect.

Soooo I sold my F4i and bought a GSXR.....Sorry :( don't hate me that much, I am thinking of doing some stuff to it as well and will post up new pictures if you want, also I am going to be installing LED's so i'll do a tutorial on that if people are interested, but its pretty simple and i don't know if anyone else has already done one so maybe i will let that one be.
