Stickers fade in first quarter

[Demonator 93]

Is it me or does this seem to happen almost every year now?! My poor old stickers lasted about 2 weeks in constant 33 degree Queensland heat!

Surely the club have learnt their lesson and are getting them manufactured by a company different to the last couple of years?

I haven't been in or near my car in over a month, due to injury, so I haven't noticed if mine have faded, but the stickers on our other car appear fine.

Still, you'd think the bloody factory which has made that same mistake over and over, would learn to check the quality of their products, instead of spending unnecessary money reprinting stickers every year.

Good to see the club being proactive and sending out replacements and notifying members.

I think that's exactly why i am surprised! It happens every year but continues to happen!

I know a few Print companies have had an involvement with Melbourne but if those responsible read this, "Please use the Lightfast/Pigmented inks next time".It might be a little bit more expensive but this will save tears welling in the eyes of many.

Its a bit embarrassing when others wonder why you have a little square of white adhesive label paper stuck to your rear window!

2 weeks in constant 33 degree Queensland heat!

I suspect it's the rain washing the colours out! We want a drought like yours! Gale one day, deluge the next!

Mine are fine. The 2010 sticker on the number plate and the jumper MEMBER 10 one on the back window.

In other news I'm shattered at losing my OBAMA '08 bumper sticker in a bumper bar swap after some [censored] ran into me in traffic.

Quite surprised at this article. Haven't received my welcome pack yet for this year (been 6 weeks, cmon club!) however last years stickers, put up over 12 months ago, are bright as bright can be.

Mine are fine too and have had a lot of exposure to the merciless Perth heat. Different batches maybe.

Sorry to read that you are injured Jaded. Not soft tissue injury I hope! I also know that you wouldn't blame poor old Bohdan. Get fit soon.

Colours on my 2009 sticker are holding in Perth sun, though no rain here since November 20!

[Demonator 93]

Haha, haven't you been to Queensland Jack? Might rain in Cairns but certainly doesn't in Brissy!

Not soft tissue, but a fractured patella like Scully. I have sympathy injuries!

Had a look at my car today, and stickers are still looking brand new, despite my car sitting in the sun with them for over a month. I must have gotten a good batch.
