January 10, 201115 yr Has anyone worked with camo vinyl graphics like this http://www.camo4u.com - I was given a camo accent stripe kit for x-mas and I am looking at installing it myself. Just wondering how hard it is to do.
January 10, 201115 yr It isn't hard to do. Just takes lots of time and patience to really do it right. It is something to do in warm temps. Make sure the paint is C L E A N. Apply lots of soapy water to both the paint and the graphic before you apply it. Use a squeegee to remove the soapy water and the vinyl's adhesive will stick to the very clean paint.
January 12, 201115 yr Yep - liquid dish soap and water - heavy on the soap. That's what we used when I had to put graphics on machinery. I liked to use a mister bottle to spray down both surfaces before application. Get a small squeegee too - like one that is 3" wide. Will help to get in small areas and work out the bubbles. GD
January 16, 201115 yr won't the liquid hurt the adhesive? Most of it is squeegeed out during the application, the rest evaps.
February 15, 201115 yr Author Awesome info - I got the wrap in from Camo4u and it went on fairly easily using this technique - thanks for the help

February 23, 201115 yr That turned out really really good man. Nice work. How long did it take positioning it and everything?
February 23, 201115 yr Took about an hour and a half, maybe a little more, for both targa stripes and the star.
