Ouch!

I believe the technical term for this is "Naff".

In all honesty, I would take them off and get some new ones.

If the emblem in the centre can be saved, maybe paint the coach stripes.

oooh!! it would be interesting to see if any kind of recovery could be made with Micro sol and micro set,

Its already been varnished. That would just be a waste of time and Micro sol/set.

I seem to have sorted it sort of by carfully peeling away the damaged bits heres the result.

Peter, as you've been able to peel off some of the dross, it could still be worth having a go with micro sol.

When I do my decals, I cut as close as I can to the actual colours, thus removing any excess film before dipping in water. No help now I realise, but worth trying in the future.

Looks like you have managed to salvage it Peter.
