How do I apply a decal??

Question

I got an airbrush decal for my motorcycle, but I am not to sure on how to put it so any tips will help, and how about after the decal is where I want it, can I apply a clear coat in top of it??

thanks

Answer 1

use soap and water to get it where u want it unless its a sticker type. make sure u get all the air bubbles out. do not paint over it

Answer 2

Use a soapy water solution to apply the sticker move it where you want it and use a rubber squeegee to remove any access water and air bubbles out from underneath.As far as applying clear to the sticker.I'm assuming you want to protect the sticker from coming off or just to make it look good.The best way to do this is to spray the whole tank.You can cover the sticker and not have heavy edges showing.If you put enough clear on it sand and buff it smooth you will never know it was added on.

Answer 3

I would say either paste, crazy glue, Scotch tape, or duct tape.

Duct Tape would be the classier way to go.

Answer 4

Peel the paper off the back of it and stick it on your bike where you want it.stick the center of the decal to the surface first than work outward from the center, pressing firmly to keep out air bubbles. Clear coat will stick to almost anything. You might use a spritz of adhesion promoter for good measure

Answer 5

Clean the spot your going to apply the sticker to,then spray water and apply sticker move it strait where you want it then squeegee the water out from behind the sticker let it dry and sray clear on it.
