Monogram ‘59 Caddy

Fuhgeddaboudit, Greg. These chrome stickers were lousy when the kit was released in 1992. They didnn't conform to the trim contours when new. Useless after 31 years. Get BMF.

My daughter use it on her 59. But because these kits are old and from the 90s. The decals are old and thin and flakey. If your not careful. They tare and brake real easy.

She certainly did a nice job on that Caddy!? Those look like they have a texture to them, but mine are smooth.

Hers are smooth to. Its just that they old and after putting them in water and taking them off the decal paper, The decal starts to look worse. But over all. With everything bad about them. They look not bad on the car.

The ones I have are not waterslide decals. They are a self adhesive “peel and stick” type. I will decide when I get to that point whether to try them or use BMF.

Another question.? Has anyone used the chrome stickers?…or would BMF look better if done carefully?

I was told to toss the chrome stickers in the trash and use BMF when I bought the hardtop version of this car recently.
