Good stuff matey. Did you have to work around the lights or did you remove them first? Either way, good job.

I removed all of the Lights and door handles (time consuming but made for a nice job).
The biggest problem was the lower stripe because i was covering Bugandy paint. I had to wrap around all the edges of the compartment doors.
It was a learning experience for sure.. i had 50 hours into it and planned on 20.
I also ruined one side of the Reflective lettering applying it. it was my first time with it and i just hinged it in the center, and squeegeed dry with a 3m gold. got way too many bubbles. I think i could do it now with someone holding it for me and a felt squeegee. But for now i’ll put the reflective on in smaller pieces, untill i get better. -
The next one you do will take you half the time. At least it’s been a good learning experience. Was it a hot day and were you in direct sunlight? I think it helps if the bodywork and vinyl is cooler as the adhesive doesn’t grab quite so aggressively.

Hi Steve I think your last bit about some one holding and especially a felt squeeggie is the way to go, vans look good anyway
