Hood decal inlays

4x4Brick #1561 · Oct 12, 2024

Assembling my 2024 Christmas list and I'm putting on the red Grenadier A / lambda for the hood, rear door and spare tire box. Etsy's got them (prefer over Amazon when I can) but they come paired with the whole decal inlay for the 'G R E N D I E R' on the hood. Hadn't planned on doing it all but now that I've seen it I'm trying to see if anyone has any images of a Sela Green Grenny with the hood decals and which colors look best. I'm Sela Green, white top (black full roof rack) and the red frame. So I know the red lambda's will look nice. Just trying to get a bead on the full word color looks.

Mines not green but here’s a set from Etsy

I've got a green Grenadier, I bought the tan & orange decals from Etsy, I just haven't gotten around to laying them on yet. I'll send a picture when I do.

I did it using water with a little soap. You can do it dry but there’s not much wiggle room.

Check with @ForceV4 Mark has a tastefully done black lettering with the red lambda and it looks sharp!

I have a similar setup on our Magic Mushroom which was probably the first thing we did. I elected to go with a BLACK with USA setup on our rig.

Installation is easy! I prefer a "wet method" to apply decals/vinyl things. Works great when you screw things up! The Etsy person I worked with I will try and find his link...but search for ElitestickersUS or Grenadier and Ben should show up!

We went with Gloss Black for the lettering and Gloss American Flag for us.

Not certain where @ForceV4 got his decals from but his look amazing and are the same or VERY close to what I have.

Enjoy the customization!!!

EDIT: PLEASE do not confuse the Iso Alcohol I have in the picture for a "wet method". The ISO was simply for cleaning the already washed hood/vehicle. In the Brown bottle I have TINY drop of Dawn liquid soap and distilled water to fill up my brown sprayer.

Here are some of my thoughts on the Decals.

For those of you that have NEVER applied a decal or a sticker? They are easier than ever to remove or replace. Some folks never know they can remove "Dealer Stickers" if they wanted to! Super simple!

@4x4Brick #1561 If you are trying to decide on the lettering/lambda on the hood and rear door. I personally like a matching set. My Opinion. You could also "mock up" something like painters tape to get an approximation on what it would look like.

Here are my final thoughts on design/vinyl decals etc......Do what you Like and always know you can remove it!

I have tried two types of decals and like the 3d the best, but they are much more expensive. I have the regular flat ones on my Eldoret blue one and the 3d on my Queens red. They both look good, I just prefer the 3d version the best. I have only seen the 3d version provided by “GrenX”. If GrenX is reading this by chance, awesome job my friend. I plan on ordering the 3d rear door one next.

I used the same Etsy shop - he was really helpful (out of Utah I think). For Green, I would vote either black lettering (like @ForceV4), or white - but with white, you do run the risk of reinforcing the Christmas theme, especially if you have a red frame. But hey, just embrace it, and next time someone makes a joke, remind them that St Nicholas was a badass and punched the heretic bishop Arius during the Council of Nicaea.

FYI - I got mine from that Etsy shop. I can get the name of the exact shop is anyone is interested.

I think desert tan and red would look pretty nice on green

Agree - my wife (head of family design bureau) selected that muted black to decent affect. - Mark

Here it is, tan and orange. The tan has more of a greenish tinge than I thought online, but it looks good with the green paint. I went with orange because I thought everyone would go with red.

Just say “The Boss”, all us married or divorced guys will know exactly what you mean!! Heck my drill Sergeants, platoon Sergeants, or top (first Sergeant) wasn’t even as bossy or demanding as “The Boss” (wifey—after 19 years the ex). #FACTS

I think black works quite well against the silver (or is it blue?).

I did have some matt black wrap, so just cut them out with some scissors.
