Anyone know if the new raised decals will cleanly cover the old flat decals?

I can't tell in Trouble_enabler's photo if the raised cover the factory flat and he also didn't say if he painted the tank first.

I was going to get some factory flat decals but if the newer raised decals will go on cleanly I'll get those as I read they are less likely to bubble?

Btw Jolly- want to sell me some decals?

raised lettering is bigger than the old flat stickers. The raised letters are plastic, bout 1/16 thick, they won't "bubble" but the paint they are stuck to might.....

If I peal off the old decals and stick on the new larger raised decals do you know if all of the sections without clear coat where the factory decals were will be covered?

Have you found some of the raised Decals yet because that may be another issue... they are out there but not cheap!

As mentioned they are a different size so I would be 99% confident saying they will not cover the area perfectly.

Wesleyb82, sorry about taking so long to get back to you, I just stumbled on this thread again. Ive got one set of each that I am hanging on to in case the guys that I shipped a tank out to have it tested for powdercoating ever get it done....frustrating issue in on itself, they're swamped with business which is good news on the quality side I guess but it's taking a while on my "pet" project...patience...patience....grrr! anyway, if they ever get around to fixing it I'm not sure what Im going to put on the tank so I would like to keep both. I can try and take a photo stacked on top of each other, but since they are still on their backing paper it may not work...I'll try shinning a light from the back side and see if that lights it up enough to see the outline of both stickers...
