Whats the best way to put stickers on the curved pannel peices.

I put a R&G sticker on the rear plastic thats above the stop light, but i could not seem to get two small creases out. Is there a trick like warming the thing up?

Let me know, i will probably redo the panel again because of the small creases.

some I know say its easiest to wet the panel down with water and i little washing-up liquid. Not too much just a little so you can move it around till it begins to dry.

Hope it helps!

As I do this regularly on to R/C boats, cars, aeroplanes..etc. I found window cleaner was the best way to do it as when it dries the sticker attaches on properly and does not come off after a while. Alternatively just practice by starting at the edge of the decal and work slowly to the other end taking out air as you go along, but curved surfaces are the hardest! Just practice and you'll find the best way to do it without using anything. If your picky like me then it's also a good idea to remove any clear bits on the decal using a nice sharp scalpel as dirt WILL stick to it and then when you put the decal on to a yellow bike it will show up and it will be trapped there and highly visible.

put a bit of soapy water on the surface, then put the sticker on top of it (it will dry and the water wont affect the adhesive) use a squeegy to get any excess air from underneath and leave to dry

Be careful with those R&G stickers, they have a clear to layer which is designed to come off once they're placed, but also a second clear layer underneath which shouldn't come off, but might- I'm cleaning up my can protector and put on a new sticker and it committed suicide about 10 minutes later
