What does santacruz use (hey! it rhymes 
) for their decals on powdercoated frames? From the pictures of other peoples bikes it looks like they use stickers. 
seems like they would peel off. HMMMMMM.........does anyone know why they do this instead of powdercoating the decals?Thanx

they just put the decals on w/ water. Vinyl Graphics.....a hairdryer will normally take them off if they're not under the clearcoat.

WD-40 is great for removing sticker residue.
Most manufacturer's will apply a clearcoat over their decals. Honestly, I don't know if S.C. does this or not.

I heard that s.c. is building a state of the art powdercoating facility and thought that they would use something different for the decals.Well, I guess i'll just buy my blur anodized.
