I just started installing the decal on my top.
No matter how careful I am, each piece comes out full of bubbles. I'm pretty sure I just trashed a $100 decal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

We did my Carrera graphics the way Scott recommends. Go to a garden supply store and get a spray/mister bottle. Use a little dish detergent in the mix. Apply in a cool location and use a squeege to work the bubbles out.

I actually use a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol. Used a bondo spreader to work the decal down. |
