Red Numbers

Hi, used a print shop as well. I took one of the red numbers down with me and they matched it all perfectly and put it all one one sheet. I would try that and would suggest that you can get the other numbers off the airstream with a heat gun being very careful not to overheat anything. Hope that helps!

Hi, I was taught to use Windex to install decals; This allows you to slide them slightly in place and easier to remove bubbles. [worked for me]

Windex will work well, but sometimes it can make it difficult to remove the top sheet without pulling the decal off the trailer.

(More than a smidgin of soap in the water will do the same)


Brevi tempore!

My experience...all of the above, plus do not get the numbers wet until you are ready to slide them off the backing. On one of mine, the backing got wet long before I needed it and it was H*ll to get the number off clean without paper backing sticking to it
I used electrical tape to set the bottom edge for the numbers

Now I know why I put off doing those numbers on our A/S. I do love AirForums. Lots of good answers and humor. Which educates me and gives me somewhere to turn when me and hubby are up the proverbial. And I always enjoy the humor here. So thanks all for cheering me up tonight!
