hey guys i got some pretty cool new graphics for the sides of my 21i and im wondering how hard it is to actually put them on as far as getting them centered and looking good on both sides. any tips or guides you guys know of i can look at. i suppose you have to do a lot of measuring and stuff correct?

Best thing to do is go on youtube and look up your specific type of sticker and watch how it is installed, you can discover several tips and tricks to making the job easier. If they are large, get help. Avoid windy days if you are working outside. Make sure the hull is clean. I think i used rubbing alcohol?
Measure and mark where you want the graphic, blue painters tape is nice to have to create level lines and center points. Just make sure the graphic is level, if its a couple inches high, low, forward etc. you wont be able to tell because you cant see the other side at the same time. You can also make your own spray solution, its just water and ONE drop of soap in a spray bottle. it helps you adjust the sticker if needed before you squeegee the sticker. If you want to buy solution it can be found but homemade water/soap works just fine. -

I like to use Windex (no generic or organic/green crap) to position the stickers. Spray it on liberally, put on the stickers, then using a rubber squweegy (sp?) get all the air bubbles out. It takes a couple hours for the Windex to dry out and your stickers will never move until you peel them off. Use 2 guys if they are big!!Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?Comment
