Adding DECALs to your ride the PROPER way. (help)


Recommended Posts

Posted

All,

I was always "that guy" that never ran a single anything on my ride.

I have a beater now, that i want to show some support from some of my suppliers, and put on some decals.

Thats on the windshield, and back windows, as well, as on the front fenders.

Besides the ole, clean and apply, is there more i need to know, to keep them on for a few seasons, and a few dozen washes????

Thanks In Advance for any, and all help all..

cheers !!

I usually just clean and apply but some people do the soapy water trick (fill an old spray bottle with water and add a small bit of dish soap) to help get them straight. You basically spray a light mist where the sticker will go then apply it, the water allows you to slide it around to get it in the exact spot you want. Then just use a credit card or ID to smooth it down like you normally would but this also pushes the water out at the same time allowing it to adhere. Cleaning the surface is the main thing though, this will help it adhere and stay put as good as it can.

I just use soap and water to clean, then measure, tape to help keep it lined up then put it on. I've got a big 20 inch D that still looks new over the past year. No peeling or anything I just used the ol' soap and water. No windex!

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

I couldn't say for sure. I've never put one on the body.

The one, that im tripping on, is the one id like to run on the right fender.

Right on the TIN so to speak...

Same method applys?

Yes but make sure you strip all the wax off. It won't last as long otherwise or stick well at all depending how much wax you have on the car. Dish soap that removes grease should strip the wax off.
