Killed my decals while stripping

As hard as I tried to avoid it, I destroyed the four raised letter logos on my 2009 Bambi while stripping off all of the clear coat to polish.

Can anyone direct me to a replacement source? Been searching everywhere.

Thanks. Photos soon.

Scott

Hi Scott, You may have to contact the mother ship in Jackson Ohio for those letters.

Are you trying to polish your Bambi to get a mirror shine? As far I know the aluminum used now days won't do that.

You will probably be directed by Jackson Center to a dealer as Jackson Center only sells limited items on a retail basis. Dealers can get anything Airstream makes. You can deal with any dealer and they will get the item and ship it to you.

It's the dumbest thing I ever did (which is saying something) but there's getting close to the finish.

Yes it can be polished. I thought not until I saw a beautiful polished '06.

I didn't think it was possible either - until I saw this! Very impressive job! Got time to do another?
