Decals won’t stick to the Humvee,

[shawnshumvee]

I couldn’t find the answer to my question as to why decals won’t stick to the humvee. I bought these M16 Rifle decals (see picture) on eBay and they seemed to be of good quality and pretty sticky?

Neither will magnets.

Yeah Action it’s mostly aluminum. I was just puzzled because I did buy other decals (like wait to start decal, etc) that was missing and they stuck. So I was wondering if they had to be OEM or something.

Spray adhesive

It's so the enemy can't tag them with stickers(propaganda...)

Yeah that’s what I’m going to do. It’s just the idea that new decals having really good adesive need to have more.
thanks

I use 3M super 77 spray adhesive. If that doesn't work. I actually take spray foam and put it on some metal then take a butter knife and wipe it onto it then spread it on whatever I want to stick. Just a real thin layer and stick it on. Has to be thin or what you are trying to stick will rise up. But that spray foam will stick to everything and anything, Even your fingers together.
