Not sure about that. I used it on my BRAND NEW ford flex. Only had 50 miles on it. I too them off, cleaned with the supplied cleaner. Painted them and over the winter they flaked off.

Got a question for those of you brushing the paint on and using the decals. Are you spraying on any sort of clear coat after applying the decals?

Put the decals on this weekend! And 3 coats of VHT clear gloss caliper paint!

The sizes I picked were perfect, 4" front and 3" back.

Yellow will look good on your IOM, it looks good on my VR and the two aren't too far from each other
