what's the deal with 'dans decals'

Guys any experiences dealing with them? I placed an order 2 weeks ago, sent them emails, and today called and left a voicemail.

What's the deal? I'm about to file a fraud complaint with paypal to get my money back...

Mine took about 2 weeks. Its been over a year and if I remember correctly they came in a plain white envelope US mail with no RA. Could of easily mistaken it for junk mail. Lots of guys here purchased them and I don't recall any issues with delivery. Some colors do match our cars better than others.

Do it right. Get a Factory Color match rattle can, remove the reflectors and paint it.

It's been over a year since I dealt with Dansdecals. I had no issues back then. Maybe he's just away on vacation.

The decals I got did not match the Interlagos Blue all that well. I got fed up with it and peeled them off eventually. I will be taking Phoenix's advice and paint them this summer.

glad i posted

Thanks guys,
Dave

Bavarian Autosports has color match rattle cans for BMW. Pretty easy to do. There should be some DIY threads floating around.

I tried to convince myself that it was ok and it was just perhaps under a certain lighting but when my wife commented "Why did you cover that thing?", I knew right there I was just fooling myself

I had the same issue with Imola Red. It did not match at all. I contacted Dan and he asked me to send a body part in for him to match. I never got around to it.

My saphire black's look spot on...But then again, it's kind of hard to screw up black...

To paint these I would recommend some plastic adherer , primer, base coat and clear coat. I did mine this way and they looked great. Here is Chris DIY. I followed it to the letter and it worked great. I kept my oven temp to about 120 though and the door partially open.

Titan silver is passable, from a distance and a quick glance. But up close one can see the difference.

Got some in Alpine White about a year ago, custom size for non-M Zed. They fit great and the color match was pretty good. They seemed like nice folks to deal with. Maybe in Ft. Lauderdalle on Spring Break?

I bought decals from them twice. First time came in like 4 days. The second time i waited 5 days then I emailed them wondering the status and he had been away and shipped out the next day with apology so honestly I have no issue with them. They came through twice.

You will get your decals. I bought from him and had to send an email reminder after a couple of weeks. I think it's a part-time gig for him and not really a money maker.

In the end I was disappointed. I applied one of them badly and it always bugged me, so I had my reflectors painted at a local body shop. Cost was $100 and it looks WAY better.

I purchased decals from him a few months ago. After 3 weeks of no package and no communication I filed a dispute. I got my money back and a few weeks later the decals arrived
