Hi, the stickers on my '83 Command Center are starting to lift, and to be honest aren't in the proper positions either, so I wouldnt mind trying to fix them. So I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to do this - peeling off the originals and and then re-applying them.
Thanks |

The way I restore stickers is to take one that has been removed and find a sticker on a vehicle that had previously been removed that still has sticker residue/glue on it and stick the peeling sticker on that area of residue to get some of the sticky to rub off on that sticker and reattach it to the original vehicle.

Just look for individuals that produce reproduction stickers, theres actually quite a few guys that do it and sell them for pretty reasonable prices. I don't know any of them off the top of my head, but I'm sure some of the other posters here will know. They actually named a few in my flagg thread, I just haven't checked them out yet, and I'm bad at recalling names.

I was told to check this site for repo stickers- gijoeheaven.com
Edit- I just checked this site, no hq decals, but does have small section, I've seen better. I'm sure someone will know.

Good luck on your sticker restoration though! |

J. Ruben ? Is supposed to be one of the best around. From what I hear he doesn't have a website, I think he emails you a price list, I've always heard great things about him. You also might want to check out Cobra Stickers.

You would think you could just spray on "sticker glue" or something to them, and reapply them.
I recommend Ruben Jimenez's stickers. I use them on all my vehicles.

Dont waste your time. Take all the old stickers off clean the command center up and send j rueben a email. His product is great.
