Ok, I got one of my decals on
I am waiting for the heater to warm up the other side of the truck, so I thought I would post up some pics. of the progress so far...

RE: Ok, I got one of my decals on
Yeah, it was a biotch, It is really cold out today, but I couldn't wait any longer. I had to get them on.
for those of you who want to do this... if you havent put vinyl down befor... dont be afraid of using a little heat to help "push" the decal into the bends of the body. I tried to use my heat gun, but if you use too much heat you can wrinkle the decal. I settled on a hair dryer. evenly heat the decal where you want it to move. after you heat the area, apply pressure so the adhesive has time to stick... (like 15-20 seconds.)
I have a heater on the truck right now warming up the panel...

Silly people, it's not cold. It's currently -9 degrees here and was as cold as -45 last week. Just remember someone else always has it worse

I will get some daytime pics in the morning... it looks mean with the tonneu back on now. makes the truck look way different. I dont have to work tomorrow, so I will get some pics befor our "ice" storm we are supposed to get. I have to say that the other side went on much more easy. I let my room heater warm teh side of the box for like 2 hours. really helped with the adhesive on the decal.
For those of you that are interested in these... klingsdesign is the guy I got mine from. I know dakota_stone got his from him too. I think bkjtimp did too...
