Vinyl graphics, stickers, that kind of thing?? I have!!!

What do you want to know - putting them on, or pulling them off???

I put them on carefully(ish), in the dark, a few hours before a road trip!! Lol!!! They went on ok!!
Just peeled the backing off a little at a time as i went, pressing the vinyl on with a plastic card!! Think for the longer web address i put on, i taped one end on with masking tape and then started sticking from the other end, so i could get it straight!!
I think for the viper style stripes i squirted some soapy water on the car first, think it's meant to mean you can move it about a tiny bit and get any bubbles out easier!!

Haven't tried removing them yet, but i might do soon!! Have heard it's best to just heat them up (heat gun or hairdryer). They've been on about 2 years now so not sure how easy that'll be!! Lol!!

I always spray a fine mist of water where the sticker / vinyl will be applied, and then you can get all the air bubbles out with a plastic card... if you choose to do it this way, use a heat gun to GENTLY heat the sticker on before removing the application layer.
