Next we have to add the vinyl decals to the tailgate and license plate. Don’t try to do this if your paint is still wet. Take a break, get a drink, let it dry really well before adding the decals.
Make sure the decal is sticking to the top layer of its paper by rub a hand applicator or credit card along it. Then pull away the bottom blue layer of paper, place your decal and press it down with your fingers and then rub the straight edge hand applicator back over it.
When you pull the paper off the decal, sometimes the letters want to lift up. Just perform vinyl surgery! 😉 Be patient and hold the vinyl to your truck with your fingers as you pull back the tape slowly.
