Decals

Are the "puffy" decals used on the FT still available ?

When I asked at FOT we were told they were no longer available.

I can make any decal puffy, that's why I avoid doing them. If you buy some flat decals I will give you the 3D installation just no warranty on them staying on b

This was done a couple of years ago, I understood FT had the designs in the files, and could be downloaded. Ours was done in Phoenix: fresh paint & stripes: perfect!

I had  CJ Wrap's company in Post Falls Idaho do our last coach. Took all the old stuff off myself. They took pictures 1st, and made template's. They are 3M. look killer. Cost a grand.I plan to do our newly purchased Foretravel, next summer

^^^The whole rig looks perfect in the picture^^^

Most onlookers think she's brand new. My files are not broken down, they re-did the engine compartment insulation, fixed cracks and dents, stripped the whole coach, awnings, roof airs, horns, etc, and re-painted. Then sent to the stripe guy and put back together. Ready?.......12CBs! Worth ever penny.  ^.^d

I think he is talking about the "Foretravel" brand name decals that are somewhat 3 dimensional. You know puffy. :)

Edit to add: If Foretravel doesn't have em' you'll be hard pressed to find them anywhere else.

"puffy" ? I thought that's what people named their cats!  I know what you're talking about, but a check with a top-end stripe guy mite be in order.

I was just at FT Parts.  There have several of the raised letter "puffy" decals on display.  Call and ask.  I did not price them.

I was at Foretravel Parts Dept in November specifically asking about the name decal.  They have 3 versions of the lettering as seen in the attached photo of their display board.  All are gold color.  The most popular size and font style for replacement according to them is the middle one.  The prices range from $37.06 to $46.22 with the Motorcade Club discount.  New model coaches have painted lettering.

Frank, did you see any of these, or are we GV types "old and in the way" ?

I'd wonder, did they match the "puffys" according to the the rest of the decal colors?
