<span style="font-size: 14pt">Trying to find a <span style="font-weight: bold">used GM Positraction Caution decal PN 3745926 </span>for my 1969 Camaro survivor. These were used on several GM vehicles from 1959 - ~1971. Hoping someone has a used trunk lid with one that can be salvaged. Please PM if you can help!</span>

Both Don Lightfoot and Dennis Cumby have made perfect reproductions of this decal. I left mine on a shelf exposed to the sun and moisture for several months where it yellowed and wrinkled and then applied it to a lid. You cannot tell the difference. Just saying....

Rick, good suggestion, that solution had also occurred to me however I've resisted anything repop thus far and am trying to stick to that - fingers crossed.

Understood. Their decals are so good that I do not think either could be detected and both are put on using a contact cement and NOT pressure sensitive adhesive so even more accurate there. The paper is not exact but darn close. Just not sure how to age the contact cement to get it to look that almost chocolate color.

I agree 100%. I've had Don make me numerous reproduction decals and he uses better material than the reproduction companies out there. Here is his website. Hope this helps. http://www.angelfire.com/rock/69ss/frame.html

I have Don's decals on my cars, and they are correct. Plus, it's very unlikely you'll ever get an old sticker off a deck lid in one piece. I'd age one like Rick suggested, but it's your call.
