today we had to change the phone # on my company truck,pulled numbers sprayed rapid remover as we usually do was waiting for it to take effect when lo and be hold i see runs in my gerber print just below where the numbers were,grabbed hose sprayed it down tooooooo late ,,took the color right out of it to the base color,was i amazed ?,you bet your bibbie i was,gee sure wish i had clear coated the print. lesson #1 clear coat color prints lesson #2 know what your doing before you do it. lesson #3 let someone else do that stuff so when it messes up you can tell them how dumb they were instead of of you felling so stupid. oh well all in a days learning. just got to love it huh? ge;o))

You should be able to sue SOMEONE for this travesty- the pain and suffering, loss of marital contact, personal embarrassment, the door hurting your head when you repeatedly head-butted it...the list is endless.
on a serious note: would the RR eat the clearcoat? Roger? Any ideas?

I'm guessing that we all learned that lesson the hard way, at the "School of Hard Knocks". I can't remember how many times I've told staff to make sure they never spray that stuff near an edge printed graphic... and Glenn is 100% right... the only thing that will protect it from RR is a clear over laminate such as clear Vinyl. If you have the edge print near a gas Cap on the vehicle, well you should protect that area as a well... cause the gas will attack also. I did 4 large jobs this week on Vehicles and everyone of them has "Condoms" on the areas that need protection.
