September 22, 20205 yr Good Morning, I'm sure this has been asked or attempted before. But I can not find a related post. Is anyone making complete General Lee Magnetic Decals for 69 Chargers? Has it been attempted? if so, did it end miserably with a rebel flag across the guys windshield behind you? I get that taking magnets off and on will scratch the paint.. I'm considering putting clear chip guard on first so that the magnetic decals can come off on and on. I'd even consider storing them on a spare roof and doors so that they retain their shape. Looking for some advice, I know this is not the ideal way to do this but with everything going on currently it might be my only option.. I would prefer painted on but that just isn't an option right now for me. Looking for some serious feedback as I am fortunate to finally get my car in for paint after 22 years, I just can't believe the turn of events taking place in this world right now is happening now that I finally am getting it in for paint.
September 22, 20205 yr Welcome to HNet, Mjoepfafr. I used to work in the sign business, but my knowledge is now nearly 20 years old, so technology may have moved on. When I used the magnetic material, it came on a roll 24" wide, and a new roll was pretty heavy. I haven't seen it any wider, although you could have it yards long. You might be able to use it for the numbers on the doors, but the roof is a different matter. As well as the size issue, I'm not sure how well the material would take to the complex curve shaped - it may be flat enough. If the material doesn't lay flush with the bodywork, air can get underneath and the wind will blow you signs off! You say that painting isn't an option, but why have you ruled out adhesive decals? Please keep us posted on your progress.
September 23, 20205 yr I can't help you but it sure is nice to have you here. Please check out everything the HazzardNet has to offer and stay awhile.....and keep us posted on your project!
September 23, 20205 yr How about a wrap like Nascar teams use. You wouldn't need to have a whole car wrap just the roof so I imagine it would be cheaper.
March 9, 20251 yr I know this is an old thread, but I know it can be done, I've seen it. The guy I sold my old Charger to restored it and turned into a General Lee. He had magnets made for all the decals. I know he drove it to our local shows without them blowing off, I don't know if he ever drove it on the highway. This was back around 2008-2010.

I never would have thought of them blowing off but that makes sense.
