Dash decal install

[1968Commando 172]

Hello everyone, I bought my wheel horse stickers probably a year ago anyways I put all the stickers on except the dash sticker… is it probably ruined now?? It’s a little wrinkled from the weather and humidity from sitting in the garage and such? Do I need a new one? Also how do you go about applying these properly without bubbles and cleanly

Back around the year 2000 I repainted this 1986  312-8 and installed OEM decals dry. Being older now I use either a small amount of Dawn dish shop mixed with water or my preferred method is Windex WITHOUT ammonia works very well. Patience helps a lot.  Good luck

Like suggested above, spray some soapy water on the dash first. Use a plastic body filler spreader or a credit card to help flatten the decal out on to the part. Always start in the middle of the decal and work towards the outside.

I believe you're talking about this style dash similar to the 500 Special I did.

 

 

Terry's decals are typically very easy and forgiving to apply but these dash decals might be the toughest. Make sure the surface is prepared very well. The metallic decal will show any imperfection. I primed, sanded and cleaned it like I was going to apply paint. Since this decal is so different from the others I started at the bottom and slowly worked my way up fitting it tight to the ridge across the center. The credit card thing works very well although I used an AARP card.

I would just use the one you have. If it doesn't work out Terry will probably be more than happy to send another if it screws up. He's good about that.
