apply stickers?, How to..? Options

[cnelson]

Ok, i got my 6gc.net stickers this weekend (yay:) ) but now i'm waiting on a couple others i order form a differant site.. my question is..

How to i apply the stickers to the car? I'm putting them on the side rear windows..

Do i put it on the outside or inside? (Probably i really dumb question i'm thinking the outside?)

Will i have a problem going though the car wash with them on?

Thanks for any help.

HAving done this myself on many cars.. inlcuding my old car.. wink wink check out my profile.. and having applied HUGE stickers ie a huge dragon on sides of my car, spiders... tigers.. ladies.. just about anything on request in my college. Anyways let me give you a couple of pointers.

IF its a small sticker such as under photo-sized just prep area and voila.

if you are going for something as big as I had on my car..
-park your car in garage.. wash it before hand.
-make sure there is no wind blowing cause dust and little particles just love sticking on glue surfaces and not coming out.. thus creating permanent bumps.
-they say that your can get the bubbles out starting at center.. trust me that does not always work. I had bajillion little stickers representing dragon skin and scales and best way to apply sticker of that size is to tape it on top.. then using a razor blade slice it into manageble sections and then while slowly peeling backing starting from the top.. use (in my case it was included) a creditcard/anything that is soft enough but durable enough to apply pressure. as you go all the way down there are no bubbles.

My dragon took about 3 hours per side 1st try
when i repainted my car it took me only 1 hour per side.

ohh btw.


make sure to use caution when washing your car.. cause stickers may start to peel off on edges.

I would certainly agree with the additional points you raise - mine were ok through numerous washes but got peeled off by driving albeit slowly through a flood. Well, a couple of the front bumper did anyway
