Hi there, so the writing "skyline" has began to fade on the back of my R33 GTS, how are those letters held on? Just by glue? I have a wreckers close to me willing to take the writing off a skyline they have there and give it to me but i was wondering if its as easy as that? Taking it off then re-glueing or will it damage the car badly? Or is there even a place you can buy those letters online or somewhere? Thanks....kinda a newbie with skylines
Here is a link to what the location of the writing (not my car by the way...just a random one off the internet)

I only have Series II rear panels at the moment so I cannot check but I am of the opinion that the letters on a Series I are moulded into the clear plastic panel and then covered in silver/chrome paint.

I do not think that you can simply replace the letters. Examine it closer to see if I am correct.

I was just looking at mine the other day. A little worn now.

The letters are just painted silver from what I can see.

The plastic strip has raised letters on it.

Just have to hand paint them with a small detailing brush I suppose.

Not sure that I'd bother masking around each letter, but it'd be nice to make a template and spray across it in one go. If I do that, I'll try to attach the template on here for others to use.

I'll see how I go by hand first.
