By far, THE best and most straightforward instruction. Thank you for your time.

[@goodsignquadcities2000]

Pretty nicely explained, though it's dangerous to lead people to think that level is correct. Sure you can adjust a laser level to be parallel with body lines, but the average viewer won't know that you meant that. Lining up graphics on a vehicle can be simple, but more often than not, it's the difference between a professional looking job and a poorly installed decal.
But I don't mean to be negative. Honestly it's one of the best explanations of the center hinge technique I've seen on UA-cam. I'm sharing it with my brother-in-law who purchased some decals from me.

Hi Tony,
In this application we used a self leveling green laser to set our level line. Stabilo chalk pencils are typically our go to for quick registration points.

Great video. Good to also note that if using a self levelling laser, the truck needs to be on a level surface. Thanks.

Only was I was shown, works great even on 6' window graphics.👍
push pin type thumbtacks work great, if you get a bubble.

It's only old school when you're a young kid

Thank you! This was very helpful 💪🏽

[@ContraMondial]

Helpful. Thanks! 🙏

[@nickbennett2205]

is an application fluid necessary? i noticed you did not use one.

[@TheRealBarshonk]

Is there an advantage to printing that sticker on wrap material? Why use wrap over those vinyl stickers? Thanks!

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

Is there a preferred temp to make sure the graphic will stick properly, I have to do this outdoors? It felt like summer last week but today feels like winter lol.

[@slicksgraphics]

The desired temperature is between 60-75 degrees Fahrenheit, however you can preheat the surface if too cold to avoid adhesion issues.

[@scrapin2010]

what do you mean when you say 70/30 isopropyl

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

@@scrapin2010 It is isopropyl alcohol, I just used cheap rubbing alcohol for the final clean in a spray bottle, worked really well too!

[@slicksgraphics]

That’s correct we use the 70 percent alcohol 30 percent water ratio…down to 50/50 to cut the oils to maximize the adhesive bond to the paint.

What type of vinyl do you recommend for dump trucks that carry hot asphalt? I need decals on the body

[@drofmah3836]

I'm surprised a video had to be made to do this job of installing a decal. I did this in early '70's and it seems and looks like nothings changed so far

[@chrisb8870]

How long does something like this last??

[@yeahno1016]

I’m trying to do this. It’s 28 degrees and not sticking.

[@daisymena607]

Which vinyl is that? Oracle 651? Thanks 😊

[@slicksgraphics]

Hello, this is the 751 series, we find it much more convenient for both installations and overall durability.

[@MrHiddenlancer]

What is the name of the tape you used?

[@earlstevens4410]

His flat top is old school 😂

[@krizia6229]

😂😂😂

[@aelmore1537]

What was the name of the pencil you used?

[@Ace35089]

Chalk pencil

[@slicksgraphics]

stabilo...they are the best at erasing when you are finished installing the kit.

[@KB-pv7lk]

Is he single?

[@VanessaCruzPhotographyLLC]

He have a ring 😅
