Cleaning my bike after todays ride and the black printing on the decals on my down tube came off revealing white decals underneath....genuine Turner decals as well

looks better thank goodness
Even the frame changed colour !
Looks good.
Weird though...
It's possible that the decal is actually white plastic with a black print on top. It looks like you've just stripped off the print.
looks better, but those rims 😯
and that fence!
nosherduke996 - better camera
onion - clear backing with black printing 🙄
Rivett - fence up at Woburn
rOcKeTdOg - them is lovely rims, them is spank subrosa's
looks like its white vinyl with black print. If the graphics have no laminate coating, most solvents and aggressive cleaners will strip the ink pretty quickly. Guess turner need to get their graphics laminated. I would email them about this outlining what you had done. I think this is a quality issue they need to be made aware of. It does look better now though.
What cleaner are you using?
On a bike like that, I'd expect decals to be under the laquer.....
Nicxe to see a "proper" Turner!

Laquering over powdercoat?
As Brant said the frame has been powder coated so no to the lacquering option
Cleaner I was using was Muck off possibly a combo of that and hot water caused the ink to lift
Santa Cruz don't laquer over powdercoat either...... the likes of Specialized (ugh) laquer over there decals but there paint jobs are at best utter shite in comparison to powdercoating. I had a Rockhopper and paint used to come off in chunks at the first sign of contact with anything!
Ahhh christ my eyes, is it possible that the black ink took its final step into oblivion, blinded by the greenyness that surrounded it? 🙂
Only kidding, looks good, especially with white.

there you have it. That'll do for your decals. And your paint. And your components.
Looks good but you need white cabling now 🙂
i think u should paint the rear triangle black...think it would look better and make the rear wheel stand out abit more.
The white graphics look fantasic I think. Total result, I hope that they last though.
I had the same thing happen to me. Preffered the white decals anyway.
Yep, its happened to me also.
