sounds tough but if you can get the stripes layed out properly...might be okay. i assume you are doing the stickers right? if you can paint, then it is just a matter of proper layout. good luck

Orrrrr.... you can use Finish line Vinyl Tape, lay out the design with the tape, put ur sheet of vinyl over the layout, squish it out, pull on the thread in the tape, and BAM! you have your stripes.... check it out

Just throwing this out there.. Have you considered Plasti Dip? Do a search if you haven't.

This looked like a good video for laying vinyl. The only think I would have done different was used the Finish line Vinyl Tape for the "triming" at the ends of the stripes.

you will notice that when you come to the edges of the cowl thast if you have a vinyl that has to go onto the hodd partially which most rallly stripes do it a pain in the arse......there is no taping it down its spray squueegee......use heat from blow dryer .....take back up partially...respray....squeegee....use heat squeegee more......preposition etc..............Hockey stripes should be easier, and a solid stripe ok yet still you have to work from the inside out then deal with corners..........not easy in cold ..............

Having someone else help would make a big difference. Gives you another set of eyes to help line things up with. Try and find another member in your area who needs some beer.
