I was finishing off my Extreme Trucks campaign entry and found the decals were so old they were falling apart. I even tried printing my own decals but ran across the same problem The decals were either coming apart. I don't know if it is because of the age of the factory decals or did I leave them in the water a little to long. The printed decals had the image run and then they started to curl and fall apart. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When you print on decal film you have to spray clear gloss on them and let that dry properly before cutting out to keep the ink from washing off.
