Ghosts Of Stickers Past

 


This is how the teardrop came. With large vinyl advertising stickers all over it. Well, at least o. Both sides and a small sticker on the front - you know what? That’s pretty much all over it, so I stand by my first statement.

Now I'm not anti-Timberleaf, they build a great product at a reasonable cost, but I am adverse to advertising for anybody, especially when I'm expected to do it for free.


So this is how the trailer looks after I removed all that vinyl.


But with a coating of dust and under the right lighting conditions, the ghosts of stickers past come out to play.

My trailer is haunted!

Cool!

    1. Patience, a plastic putty-knife, and the sun's heat.

    2. Maybe a little acetone is called for?

    3. Those are painted aluminum panels, so no acetone allowed! Alcohol, Goo-Gone, and assorted cleaners, but nothing that might attack the paint!

      I suspect time and exposure will ultimately fade these ghosts, in the meantime, they only show up once in a while and, unlike screen-writers, I don't don't believe that ghosts are inherently evil, so I can live with that.
