Sonny chip relabeling question (1 Viewer)

[Phyzyl]

Hey all, I’m new to the murder and relabel and am just about to put together a set. Hoping someone might be able to help give insight for Sonnys and maybe the Horseshoe 25s...

the sonnys look like the have a label that is wider and goes over the edge to the TH section- does anyone know if you can murder these and the label will remove from that part as well??

question for the 25s HSI is just to check that these are easy enough to use standard method to relabel as well??

appreciate any help!

Oof ok thx good to know!

Thank you for your sacrifice

No. Oversized labels that extend into the hat and cane cannot be murdered.

Mucho gracias.

This is a Crystal Park $1. @HaRDHouSeiNC murdered it for science. Pic is his. While the inlay came off the part with the hat and cane beneath it was destroyed.

Here’s a sonny’s autopsy done today. The laminate is hard like glass and hard to remove. The label with some NANPR was difficult at best. The oversized edge removed the easiest it was the 1 1/16 part..... ugh. Not worth the effort. Not worth the result.

Well, technically, they can. But they will never look good again, because of the recess line through the hats/canes, which can't really be covered up with any laminated label.

Doesn’t look too bad at all! I’m a newb at murdering a chip for relabel (about to try with my first set) so maybe I should stick with the HSIs as seem more common and simple

You could have the same side inlay printed on vehicle wrap material and it would go in the outer destroyed rim and cover the center good after a bit of heat. We do that in our shop. But it would be expensive and time consuming

Yes stick with standards.

Yah not really destroy the mold but you can’t label it right
It won’t work it just looks wonky where you’d have to put the label

Correct. You could technically do it. I of course meant murdering to relabel is not an option.

In that sample you did it looks pretty destroyed. The part of the hat and cane that was under the inlay is very faint. No way to relabel that.

Yah its still there as is before but it looks pretty weird.
