01bansheefox Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Just got my new graphic kit and for some reason I have atleast 15+ stickers for it figured there would only be around 10. Any way to put these on do i just wash my fenders good and slap them on? Or if this is someones first time do you recomend taking it to a shop.

SICK BOY Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 If you take your sticker set to a dealer,they will laugh at you as soon as you leave.Back sure your plastic is clean and dry.Then take your time,line everything up and you'll be fine.

SICK BOY Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I use a bondo scraper or a plastic puddy knife to push any air bubbles out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 after you clean plastics... spray plastics with a squirt bottle (soapy water)and then spray back of graphics with water... this way you can put in perfect place and it won't stick.... then when you get it in perfect place.... use the bondo scraper and work the water out and air bubbles while its in place... works like a charm and there was a section of this in dirtwheels few months ago..

ellison445 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 I do mine a little different. Get yourself a bucket of hot soapy water. Make sure you clean the plastics well before. Dip your graphic in the hot water and apply to the bike , I use an old credit card with a towel around it to get the bubbles out. Works like a charm, The reason for the hot water is to make the graphic more flexible so it fits in the cornners and bends perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheefox Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 When u dip the graphics in water the stickiness doesnt come off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 When u dip the graphics in water the stickiness doesnt come off? 308479[/snapback] Nahh, your just dipping it in there. Not super soapy water either. I think it was 1 tablespoon per litre when I use to tint windows. It doesn't take a whole lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Correct, I use like a drop....the key is the HOT water! Nahh, your just dipping it in there. Not super soapy water either.
