[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.

Okay, here is my How-to for decal install (specifically 6GC decal)

Tools:

Decal(s)

Cotton Ball


Rubbing Alcohol or equivalent


Masking tape


Okay, first what I had to do is remove my old vinyl, because one side was kind of killed from my ice scraper, so I removed it. My window looked like this


Then I took my equivalent to rubbing alcohol (I used whatever had the most alcohol in it) and put it on my cotton ball and rubbed the area clean of the sticky residue and whatever else was there.


Afterwards your window should look like this


Next, with ALL material still on the decal, tape it down where you want it with the masking tape.


Now here is the Hinge we are talking about. Cut one end of the tape and pull the decal back like a hinge. Once you have it pulled back, go ahead and remove the backing to the decal.


Once laid down take something laying around and press the decal down starting from the middle-ish and go up and down. I used the rubber handle to my wire strippers.


Once that is pressed on real good go ahead and start peeling back the cover. Don't go at a 90 degree angle on this. A nice 30 degree angle works well.


And thats it! Now its on the window.


Take off all residual tape and make sure it looks pretty.


Don't worry about bubbles that are ~2cm in size. Vinyl is porous and will let them go as time passes. If you get any big bubbles take a needle and poke it lightly. Now press the air out of the bubble.
