Got my monster graphic kit in the mail earlier in the week, and I've been since reading up and watching tutorials on applying new graphics. Think I've got a pretty good understanding about it and how to avoid the pitfalls.. but I'm wondering if there are any "quirks" or "gotchas" to the process that most wouldn't know without experiencing them first hand. Any special tricks or things to avoid when applying new graphics?
My understanding is you should heat up the old graphics with a hair dryer, pull em off, clean the plastics really well (I've got some decal remover liquid), then dry. Heat up new graphics slightly (to make them more bendy) and apply some soapy water to the plastics to avoid the graphics from instantly sticking and so you can adjust the position easier, then squeegee out the liquid and air bubbles (kind of like when applying tint).
I miss anything?
