Yes, these decals are flat and will go over Curved/Convex Surfaces.  There is NO such thing as pre-curved decal since all manufacturers that make vinyl come on a roll.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Plastic Applicator – Squeegee or something the shape of a credit/debit card. A real squeegee will help prevent bubbles/creases better though.

Masking Tape – Used for applying large size decals to hold the decal in place during installation.


Our decals are made with an air-release vinyl where the decal can be installed with NO wet solution. If bubbles/creases occur just take a blow dryer heat the area and squeegee or press out the area with your fingers. The trapped air will release. SEE Step #6

Temperatures – do not apply decals where the temperatures exceed 80 degrees in direct sunlight. For best installation, install in the shade between 65-75 degrees.

1. Clean hands thoroughly to prevent any dirt/oils from adhering to the surface of the decal. Also, clean the area where the decal will be applied (emblem surface) thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or acetone. Do NOT use Soap! And, wipe dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth.

2. With dry hands, peel HALF THE BACKING PAPER OFF AND CUT WITH SCISSORS. This will allow you to align the decal up correctly over the emblem. REMEMBER it is necessary to place the side of the decal that is against the backing paper to the stock emblem (or area where the decal will be applied) where the decal will go over.

3. Place the adhesive side of the decal against the application surface. Be sure to line up the design with the emblem to prevent it from being crooked and not even.  Now peel off the other half.

4. Using squeegee (for best results), plastic driver's license or credit card (making sure there are no rough edges), work from the center outward and squeegee out "all" the excess air. Then, wipe dry with a lint-free cloth or microfiber towel.

5. If there are any bubbles or creases you can remove them by using your fingers to press out the trapped air.

6. You will need to take a hairdryer or heat gun and seal the decal by applying heat to the decal 4" - 6" away from the decal. Be sure to keep the heat moving and not directly on the decal or you will burn or blister the decal. This also helps during installation to apply the decal. The vinyl is heat activated, and this step will help activate the adhesive on the back decal to the Factory Emblem.
