<p>A method of repairing a wall panel 12 for a caravan comprises flattening a damaged portion of the first skin of the wall panel 10b and applying an image 10b to the flattened portion of the first skin of the wall panel. Using a transfer or a thin film self-adhesive decal preferably having a thickness of 25μm or less. A transparent protective coating 11 may then be applied over the transfer or thin film self-adhesive decal. The method is particularly suited for providing a replacement design on a wall panel where the original design 10a, 10c was printed on the wall panel using a direct-to-substrate printer, since use of a transfer or thin-film decal means that the replacement design will be similar in appearance to any undamaged portions of the original design. The thickness of the repaired area of the wall panel will be typically no more than 30μm greater than the thickness of the undamaged portion(s) of the wall panel.</p> |
