Can anyone tell me how to put blackbird stripes?
I already bought a set of Blackbird stripes from fourth circle designs, but I am still confused about how to put the stripes on my car. Has anyone done it before? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

Your gonna need a mix of soap and water in a squit bottle... Spray the decal and the car enough so you can slide the decal around once it touches the car... Once you have it where you want it, squeege the excess water out from underneath

i advise you to do this indoors. First, with the paper still on the back of the stripes, line it up on the hood to get an idea of where it will go. Then, you can make or buy a solution or make a soapy mix and put it all over the area where the decal will go. Make sure you have a good amount on, cause once these decals stick down, there down for good. Then basically just line the stripes up with the bodylines of the hood. Make sure you get all the air bubbles out fast using a credit card or something like that. push from the middle outwards. Then, park your car outside in the sun for a good long while and let the heat take out any bubbles in there. It will also make the vinyl shrink slightly to get more water out also. Any bubbles left should come out in the sun. Thats basically it, no real science to putting these down. good luck!
