I just recieved my RS-1 front lip yesterday and covered it in stickers. My concerns are washing it and sticker edges being peeled or torn. What, if any, is the best way to coat them to give it a smooth, protective surface that won't lift ink off the stickers?

Alternatively, I suppose I could get back-up stickers.. But not really what I want to mess with time and time again.

Any and all help is appreciated, criticisms are humbly ignored.

 

Clear coat the lip. Either body shop or rattle can

 

What would you recommend as a clearcoating? I've heard of sprays lifting and running the ink on stickers.

 

I haven't sticker bombed anything. Lol but check out Skeeets thread. Someone recently asked a similar question.

 

As long as you do multiple light coats, you should be fine. Krylon clear works great.

They have matte clear and gloss clearcoat, depending on the finish you want.

 

matte or gloss??? which is better......

 

for a sticker bomb i think matte would be better

 

Just picked up some spray clear coat. I set aside a sample and it seems to be doing exactly what I need. I want a glossy finish, by the way. And unless there's anything else I could use, I may just start coating the lip soon.

I was honestly just worried that maybe someone had an experience with all the ink being lifted right off the stickers when coating them

I appreciate the responses, everyone. I'll have pictures of it after it's on. No skateboard or car brands on it - it's all made of artists' works, the obligatory S3 stickers, a Capsule Corp vinyl and some other random goodies; I'm proud of it.

 

i plan on doing the sticker bomb on the HOME DEPOT lip. should i still use matte of the glossy???

 

I put a clear over mine and the stickers peeled off :/

 

post up pictures of the lip
