White Water Apron Decals from Treasurecove

Being in the middle of a White Water restoration, I recently acquired a set of apron decals for White Water from Treasurecove.  The were printed from vector artwork so the detail is very sharp.  The other nice feature is they are pre-cut so they apply very easily to a properly prepped arch.

Below is an original (top) White Water arch and a refinished (bottom) arch using Treasurecove's apron decals.  You will notice immediately that the blue of the arch is different.  When I had the bottom spare apron stripped and powdercoated, I had them match the blue that was on Treasurecove's decal, which is slightly off from the original.  Personally, I like the new blue much better.  It's much more vibrant.  I didn't think the original arch was drab until I placed it next to the new arch for these photos.

DECAL.  The font lettering is a perfect match and very well done.  There is a slight error in the vector art in the top yellow zig-zags that cuts into the black lines, but this is only noticeable upon VERY close inspection.  Again, being precut around the zigzags was a MAJOR bonus during installation.

CONCLUSION

With crisp artwork, vivid colors and precut installation ease, these decals are a fantastic fix for a damaged or scratched arch. Although there are some color variations, I don't feel they are an issue as most people that will be restoring their arch will need to repaint/repowdercoat anyway.  The end result is a professional looking product that any person should be proud to have on their machine.
