CKylesworld Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I just got a sticker kit and seat cover from Alba racing. It was kinda expensive and I really cant take any chances of messing up the stickers. Does anybody have any foolproof way of applying them and getting them right the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screamin_Demon Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 clean your plastics extremely well. Don't worry about drying them. Use some soapy water and wet down the area where you're going to apply them. place the sticker down, but don't use much pressure. You should be able to move the stickers around to position them. Once positioned correctly, use something without a rough edge such as a credit card, driver's license, plastic putty knife, etc... Start from the center and work your way out, being careful to smooth out all the water and the air bubbles. Once you complete that, go over it again to make sure the sticker is adhering all the way. Let the stickers sit overnight and they'll be ready to go the next day. Also a tip... if you have a small pocket of air that's trapped under neath a sticker and you can't get it worked out... take a very small needle and poke a hole in the middle of the air bubble. Don't force the air out fast or you might cause it to blow the hole bigger. Once the air is out, make sure the sticker is adhering to the plastic around the small hole. The hole won't be noticeable once it's sticking to the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 As far as soapy water, not to soapy. It's like tinting car windows. I use a tablespoon of dish soap to 1 gallon of watter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 If you use silicone or wd40 or anything oily to shine your plastic make sure you get it really clean and get that stuff of or it wolln't stick well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 rubbing alcohol is good for doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
