taillight filler decals

[mcG]

i got some new decals, the word firebird and the screamin' chicken that both go on the square part between the taillights
do i have to remove the old lettering and bird before i apply the new ones? the directions only had info on applying the decals, not removing the original lettering

Take out the whole black panel and get some 1500-2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand the old decal. Then use some 3M Rubbing Compund Fine Cut which you can get at walmart for $5, then apply that. Then just apply the new decal.

is there another way? this seems kind of complicated just for a decal...by the way what exactly is wet sanding?
p.s. what color did you paint your interior pieces? the air vents look really good [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Thanks, Its not hard to do at all. takes mabey 15 min. All u need is the supplys. What i did was just wet the sand paper then start sanding it off. BTW, The vents are painted silver.
