Side Decal

[professor229]

Hi... paint process is almost done, and need to ask a couple questions about the decal pictured in the attachment. How long should I wait to apply it (paint cure; single stage enamel).... and.... Has anybody applied this one? On research, there are two kinds of decals... one you apply with a water/soap and move it in place kind, and the second is tape in place and use the two step peel off.... If you have done this decal, can you tell me which it is and give me a few hints? I have watched a couple of You Tube videos but need to know what type this is... any/all help appreciated... thanks...

Hi Bryan... Quick question though.... it looks like the exact same decal as the one I have rolled up sitting in front of me.... how was it applied? There are two methods depending the type of decal, which I found through my research.... or was it professionally done at a body shop? Method one: soapy water on area, apply decal.... position decal, squeezee and let dry.... or Method two: set decal in place with the backing intact... tape in place after positioning and happy, and then split the decal in two with the decal having an adhesive backing... squeezee out any imperfections/bubbles.... Thanks...

Here are the original instructions that came with the factory side decals.

The decal you have is not the factory accessory style. It is an aftermarket stripe kit. The original kit is as in this picture.

Does anybody still sale the factory accessory styled stripe? I don't like the blocked looking one MSA has and one of my rust spots is under the rear of the driver's door stripe.
