What does FREENOW OCA look like and where is applied?
Here is what FREENOW OCA looks like! The stickers will be applied to both sides of your cab.
LONDON, EDINBURGH & MANCHESTER
The OCA will be applied only to London Black Cab on both exterior doors on each side.
BRIGHTON
The OCA will be applied only to Brighton Hackney Carriage on the rear quarter panel on each side.
Will FREENOW OCA damage the paint?
The Livery/stickers are very gentle and can be taken off without any damage to the paint.
If anything there may be a slightly sticky residue that can come off with hot soapy water or when removing the sticker use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive this should make the sticker removal easier/cleaner.
In addition, our 2024 OCA program offers paint damage protection up to the value of £400* if the OCA is removed by FREENOW.
*Where FREENOW has arranged for the removal of the advertising material, FREENOW shall accept liability of up to £400 per door if any damage is incurred in the removal. Where the advertising material is removed by or on behalf of the Contracting Party, FREENOW accepts no liability for damage incurred.
