I recently purchased an 18" x "113 decal from decalkits.com and installed it myself. This process did turn out to be a lot harder than i thougt due to the side moldings on Civics butit actually turned out very good and the decal molded right into the side moldings on the car. Now about a week after the istall it is still looking good except for the areas that had to be pushed in around the side moldings. It is pulling up and getting ridiculously bubbly. What can i do to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

The best thing to do it to get a razor and CAREFULLY cut where the molding meets the body. Then with your finger or a rubber smoothing tool, smooth the bumps. No one with notice the small lines.

 

Yea thats what i was thinking i would need to do. Thanx for all the help. What if it doesn't restick though?

 

Then well, you're F'ed!!! jk

If you're working with vinyl, which it sounds like you are, it should still stick otherwise I would suggest finding some sort of adhesive that won't wreck the paint. And the only thing I can think of is 3M double sided tape.

 

alright thanks a ton Dano

 

I bought my first Civic last week! I don't know how I did without.

I need some help, please:

I want to move the stock 'Civic' badge on my '07 that's on the rear left to the center rear, either right under the "H" or lower, right under the license plate.
1. How do I remove the badge cleanly, preserving the badge and leaving a clean surface where it was?
2. How do I reattach it? Recommendations for adhesive, etc?
Are there kits out there that I can buy to do this? My tools are limited.

Thanks!

 

Make a new thread with these questions cuz we were talking about a totally different subject

 

Actually, no it's not. It's saving space, too.

 

Actually, yes it is. Notice how the original poster is asking about installing a decal, and here you are asking about moving your badges around.See how they are two totally different subjects?!?

 

put a pin-hole in the middle of the bubble and push the air out through that hole. It works well and you cant see it that bad but i wanna see pics anyway!
