installing graphics

hey yall, just looking for some advice...

picked up a wicked nice kit off ebay, just wondering the best way to install them the package says not to use a hairdryer, but twmx says yes, use one.

i also heard u can place them on wet so you can slide them around and work out air bubbles. is this true

any one have first hand advice to help a brother out

Heat is your friend. Try to find a heat gun if you can. If your fingers aren't burned WHEN your'e done you didn't do it RIGHT.

I usually do them wet, so they can move around a little and get the air bubbles out with a squeegee. Then, finish them off with heat like TWMX says. I always "seal the edges" with heat.

take the plastics off the bike and install the graphics. dont do it with the plastics on the bike. you wil have more room and can be more precise. nothing is worse than sideways/bubbly graphics

I agree with KTMPower - I used the decal works application kit and put on all three backgrounds in less than an hour (even the dreaded right side). They came out factory perfect - I couldn't believe it. Didn't even have to speak any french!! I'm sold ON that stuff.
