Hey folks...
Just thinking long term here.
Based in Virginia and hangared.
Have a paint job circa 1981, in a college’s colors no less. Paint is still in great shape, but would like to modernize the look.
What’s the long term success of decals in a hangared temperate environment? I know baking in a hot desert sun isn’t good, but I’ll never be there. It’ll be hangared in perpetuity. It would also be nice for it to be easily modified in design by a new owner someday.
Thoughts? Thanks y’all!
Vr/C
