    Does anyone know how to source the decals for the vents and buttons for after reconditioning the sticky plastic?

    Sticky RX Refinishing Solutions uses laser. Stickers are not a good solution.

    Why is that? The vent arrows/circles were NOT laser etched from the factory. So what should he do?

    They weren’t stickers from the factory. I was simply offering a solution that he wouldn’t be disappointed in, as I’ve seen these stickers.

    I didn't like the idea of stickers. Figured better off w/o arrows after I refinished my vents. Saw them on another car. But ultimately I added sticker to vents. Trimmed them down to the edges of the white part and clear coated them. At normal size you can not tell they are stickers. (Excuse the dirt specs on the top part of the arrow.)

    Sorry Robbie for that above comment. I am very happy with the set (cleaning/refurbishing/decals) you did for my 1995 348 Spider. I guess being a forum sponsor means nothing. I also support Daniel @ Ricambi America. Robbie has been a presence here on FerrarChat for a long time.

    Some guys just can't afford $800 to refinish a set of vents with laser etching versus guys who DIY and get decals that cost $40 a set. Our decals blend in with the vents, you cannot tell there is a decal on them. We have revised them numerous times over the years to get one that looks nearly factory. We feel it is a great option for the guys who flip cars, shops, dealers and guys who can't spend alot, offering a lower budget option that is nearly impossible to tell.

    I had the vent decals cut from thin adhesive vinyl. Seven years later still going strong.. Looks fine.
