    Default 92 Comp lettering

    Has anyone had the vinyl lettering replaced on a 92 Comp . I don't like the lettering but after buffing out the gel I have ghost lettering I can't get out . If a sign shop already has the file it would be easier to reproduce.

    I had the exact lettering on my 96 and had the ghosting also when I removed. Ended up wet sanding to get it out

    Did you get all the ghosting out ? I would rather not put those ugly things back on?

    Yes it all came out. Started by hand with 600 then 1000 then 1500. Then 3m heavy duty rubbing compound with buffer. Then gloss polish with buffer. Then wax with buffer. Wasn`t too hard since only doing the color and not the white. IMG_0293.jpg

    I found a sign shop that can duplicate the lettering . Not sure on color . I'm thinking black or black with a silver outline . Black 1'' stripe under.

    Well here it is I went with the original graphics to cover all the ghosting but changed the color to retro Supra light blue with a black pinstripe around the lettering . Then put a 1'' black stripe with a 1/4'' light blue stripe that goes into the light blue Supra wave. I think it pops against the sanded and buffed red of the hull . And its not yellow. Now we can concentrate on the new carpet and interior vinyl.

    Looks great! I love red and blue together with just a punch of black. No mistaking the machining look to the trailer
