I can always have more made.
I obtained some lettering only, no star, that had been on the shelf for who knows how many years, plus the original decals I obtained for my car had been on a shelf until I received them and they went on like brand new.
These are original Vitachrome decals. The only issue is if the decal itself gets lifted from the backing paper, dirt, hair or dust gets between the two and the adhesive is not sticky any longer.
That's the only issue I have ever seen with these.
Also, if they get bent or folded. Bad news there too.
My suggestion would be to leave them in the flat box I ship them in and keep them flat on a " shelf " until use.
They'll be like new for years after.
Basically the only difference in these decals and Vitachrome is, The backing paper ( white ) is not die cut to the shape of the star, and they do not have their stamp on the back of them.
The decal's themselves were printed and made exactly like the originals.
Any questions, please feel free to PM me, I'll send you my cell # to talk.

Thanks to John and his hard work to have these decals made and available to us enthusiasts and the hobby of restoring retired CHP cars. I was impressed with these decals and could not wait to get my hands on them. I compared these to an original set of orriginal Vitachrome "HIGHWAY PATROL" letters I currently have and WOW!... I could not tell any differnce between the both of them other than the backing paper which will end up in the garbage after application. Now I wont have to pick out the best and cleanest edged ones from the two sets I already had for the Mustang.
My 93 Mustang is on its way to the paint shop next week for about 4 weeks or so and she will be getting her true service colors back after all these years.Does any one have any recommendations on application of this type of decal. Do these decals get applied on a wet surface with solution "mild water/soap mixed solution" or just the dry surface application?
Once again, Thank You John for making a Dead End Road Open Again for us owners of retired/restored vehicles.
