Just found this website, they have stuff for Aspens, Warlocks, Magnums and even the normal stuff. Don't know if any one has used them before. Just wanted to pass it on.

I heard on here that soapy water works good till you have them where you want them to be then sqeege them out.

acualy the good people at performance car graphics told me that i should use window cleaner, wasnt it you that sent me the link for them and if it was why didnt you buy from them, there cheaper and there customer service is fantastic to the point that they told me i should call no matter how silly of a question i had!

A sudsy mixture of dish soap and water will work for you. I do a lot of lettering and vinyl graphics, use soap and water for small stuff but prefer application fluid for larger pieces. Most sign shops will probably have some. It does not dry as fast as soap and water. The trick is to keep the surface slick so you can slide the decal into position. Use a rubber squeege to work out mixture and air bubbles. Be carefull of letter edges. Once you have most of the water out you can peel off the backing paper, slowly and at a 45 degree angle pulling down. I usually use blue painters tape as a guid when applying the decal. Hope this helps.

Had to pull a bunch of stickers off the project car. What's some good stuff for getting that sticky residue off of paint.
Also, how about for getting it off of lexan?

I would suggest rubbing alcohol. It is pretty easy on things and cuts adhesives

We used to use Naptha at trade shows on plexiglass, don't know what it would do to paint though.

I removed a ton of stickers from my car using a product called sticker shock. I think I got it at autozone or advanced auto.
Good luck

I vote for the 3M citric cleaner as the best stuff and it will not hurt the paint.
Used it many times.

I've cleaned lexan with laquer thinner, enamel reducer, & parts cleaners & nothing I've used hurt it. I'd probably try brake cleaner first.

Year One sells lots of stripe kits. Also, PhoenixGraphics ( www.phoenixgraphics.com ) has nice stuff, too. We just bought their stencil kit for the painted stripes on my buddy's 71 Olds W-30 rag, and the kit is really well done.
