Hi guys,

I picked up some dashboard styling film from a company named Folia Tec, it's a metallic flip-flop green/purple.
I went with film because I wanted a non-permanent solution, otherwise spray is probably the way ahead.

I've done one small section so far (will post a pic soon), but it's not easy, ended up with a couple of bumps and jagged edges.

Can anyone help me out with some tips/suggestions? step-by-step process with pictures pretty please?

Went on a web hunt for instructions and got Folia Tec's own stuff, but it wasn;t too helpfull.

thanks guys,

jamie

Heat will be your best bet for the corners. If you are having trouble getting it to stick to those parts take a soft new paint brush (like you would use to paint your house) and cut the bristles so that they are about 1.5 inches long (this will make them more firm) and you can use the brush to press the film down into little crevaces you can't get into with a squeegee.
