After mine fell off I noticed there were some spots where the the transparent red paint on the back had pulled off. I ended up using about 10 coats of duplicolor red candy on the outside then using roberts contact cement (professional grade) on both parts. It has survived the drastic weather changes we have here for over a year without incident.
