they like white and bright yellow. when the Admiral had the bright yellow VW convertible, an entire swarm landed on us in traffic.....

when I was gel-coating the boat, there were about 100 that I had to sand out of the gel

The decals are pealing themselves off
My last trailer was a Forest River product. The decals got so bad on the front after just two years, I removed them with an airpowered decal removal wheel.

On my new Nash trailer, I may be making a snap in cover to protect the nose of this one.
