I would recommend new decals. Adhesive not made for vinyl will eventually cause it to fail again but you can try some 3M spray adhesive for a temporary fix.

can u spray clear coat(spray paint) over the vynil

[8darian1208]

@408427 Yes, you can. They make specific spray laminates for vinyl and are recommended. You can also spray paint , you just have to be careful to do multiple thin coats. Since the spray is not intended for such use, too heavy a spray can damage or bubble the vinyl. I would mist coat lightly and allow to dry briefly between coats until you build up an even finish. Or let the first coat dry completely and then build it heavy as you want. Once the edges and surface is sealed it should be fine.

Where is the best place to buy decals or graphics like sports (Colts or Vols) and stuff like that.

[8darian1208]

@TheRocketman78 NFL and NCAA items are a little tricky because of licensing and copyrights. They have lots of stuff in the licensed stores, but I believe if you want something custom a sign shop or the likes could make it for you with no problem for personal use. Please don't quote me on the legalities of it, for I am not completely sure. You might want to check ebay ... that could be a good resource.

Or even try the fathead site ...
