If you bought them from Terry - @Vinylguy - why not ask him what he recommends.....

Bought them from maple hunter decals

Spray the CLEAN surface liberally with Non - Ammonia Windex . apply the decal and remove all the air bubbles from between surface and decal.

DO NOT try to put them on without soapy water or using @JCM’s recommendations. A credit card works good to squeeze out the air bubbles and excess soapy water. Putting them on wet allows you to move the decal around to the exact spot you want it.

If they're going over a fresh paint job, it's important to sand any dust nibs out of the paint with some fine wet-sand paper (like 1000 grit).

I applied my neighbor's decals dry, but I have 50 years of bodywork experience.

If you're not sure, use the soapy water (just a little soap in a spray bottle of water) technique with a squeegee (use a squeegee wet or dry). Also helps if you keep your fingers wet when handling the decal.

I've installed my share of Trans Am chickens! A clean smooth surface is the #1 priority.

the last ones I installed where for an 857 and I didn't use any soapy water. They were the same size hood decals @Bar Nuthin has pictured above. Had no problems but can see how the soapy water would help if you got in trouble applying them and had to readjust your decal.. They came from @Vinylguy (a sponsor here) and I highly recommend him.

Those guys are full of it ... best way to put them on is order two sets. Take the first set and crumble them up and toss them. Take the second set and give them to @Achto and pay him to be your friend and he'll put them on ...
