Schwinn tank ,relabel

[Gold Street Customs]

I don't know if this is much of a how to but I will put it out just for the heck of it. I picked up a reproduction cantilever tank from the 90's that had the ugly Schwinn script on it, I didn't know if this would work or not but the Script is printed on the vinyl inserts so, a little paint stripper on a rag will take it right off and I got the decals off ebay for twelve shipped so here's everything but the before shot...oops!

Warm water

Slide onto the tank off the backing when saturated

Lightly pat off the excess water with a paper towel, and make sure everything is straight before you let it dry

And wha la my 54 rat phantom is almost done

Thank you for this. I just picked up a green and cream repro bike and love it... except for the butt ugly schwinn logo on it. I am going to check ebay for the decals now. IN case I cant find'em would you throw a link up to the seller? thx!

For decal to stay put, you should give it a light clear coat. nice job

I don't understand whythey didn't repro the labels on those tanks. They could afford the tooling, why not the printing dies? Oh well, at least we have the mindset to make what we want. Good job.

Nice job!

I do prefer vinyl decals since they will hold on for a lot longer time than those waterslide

For water decals on an irregular surface,I HIGHLY recomend Micro-Sol.

I've been using it for years on model cars.Your local Hobby Shop should have it.
