Hi,
I'm prepping my car tommorow for a charity event, (wash, polish etc) and am putting sponsor grahpics (MOMO, SONY, EIBACH etc) on the drivers and passengers front doors, how are they positioned to give the best look. i.e all aligned to the left or right ? do I align right and follow the curve of the front of the doors ?
Any assistance or images would greatly assist.

All the cars Ive seen with these adverts stuck on them, have been to the front edge of the front doors. Ie as near to the front door to wing gap as possible.

Helps to spell them correctly too....

MOOMOO, EYEBACH would look silly.

Mine are just lined up to the front edge of the door, in a straight line

Nightmare to get on without any bubbles though!

Nice looking Scooby Rob how about a few pics in the members gallery ?? looks like a great job.

The trick with transfers are put put them on wet that avoids the bubbles and allows you to position them correctly.
Yes i did say wet
First a light spray of water on the paint work (those fine sprayer bottles) then peel back of transfer and lightly spray the back of that to, next position transfer on the car roughly where you want it and you can then just slip it into perfect position......... the water stops the instant stick you normaly get, you know when its in the wrong place and you can't move it LOL
After you have it in place you need a rubbery tipped spatular (spelling?) you may get away with a credit card with masking tape over the edge.
Run this from the inner of the letters to the outside thus forcing the air and water out...... then quick run over with a hair dryer peel the backing paper of gently and hair dryer again
Any large bubbles can be popped with a pin to release the air and water and just leave any smaller ones, after a few days in the sun the vinal shinks and these all dissapear.
Guilty of a little signwriting myself in the past, picked up a few tricks
