Ever see anyone tint a window??? It's the same process...
What you'll need... Rubbing alcohol, dish soap (Dawn will do), water, small spray bottle, rubber scraper, and a blow dryer... and don't forget your vinyl, lol.
After you cut your vinyl into the shapes you want and know where you're going to put them clean the area of the car well with the alcohol and dry it.
Mix a small amount of the soap with some water in the spray bottle.
Spray the back of the vinyl AND the area where you are putting the vinyl. This will allow you to move the pieces wherever you want to make the straight or in the desired position. So, after spraying both vinyl and desired area, place the vinyl down and adjust it until it is in the correct position.
Once in position... use the rubber scrapper to get as much of the water out from under the vinyl as you can. Do this by scrapping from the middle of the vinyl out towards the edge. Make sure the scrapper you get is some what soft and don't press too hard or you'll scratch the vinyl. Like I said before... try and get as much water out as you can... the more you can press out the faster it will dry.
Now get the blow dryer and turn it on the highest heat level it will go... slowly pass over the entire area of vinyl to help dry the underside. If you have a heat gun and know how to use it that will work too and be a lot faster. This step will take some time but just be patient and move across the vinyl slowly.
If you see some bubbles under the vinyl scrape them out with your rubber scrapper. And after some drying go over the areas again with the scrapper and try to get more water out.
One thing I did was turned on some super HIGH/HOT shop lamps and pointed them right towards the vinyl areas to help dry the under side.
You don't have to get the underside completely dry so don't sit there for hours trying to. Don't touch the vinyl for a couple of days so it can completely dry.
The night I did my stripes it rained pretty hard but it didn't move them or anything so it's not like they are really sensitive or anything.
After all that though you are done. Good luck and pm me if you have any questions. -JM
