Finally got the six chassis painted.

Can you give me any details of how you fitted the vinyl. It looks so professional. I'm just about to tackle mine. Did you trim the edges with scissors and how did you punch the holes?

Thanks for the compliment. I'm no professional, but I did talk to a one before i tackeled it. Here's what I did:

1. Lay the aluminum trim pieces on the roll bar and attach with blue tape.
2. Using blue masking tape, trace the area where the glue should be sprayed less
1/4 inch inside, and lots of plastic to protect from overspray
3. Scratch the painted surface with a scoth bright pad, then remove any dust with
clean, dry cloth.
4. I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. Spraying roll bar and back side of vinyl
evenly.
5. Let dry for only 30-seconds. It is very tacky at this point but not dry.
6. While positioning, you need to "stretch" the vinyl, starting at the top.
Remember, it's very sticky, once it's on, it's very hard to move.
7. Wait a while, then peal back the masing tape and blue tape because there's
no glue there. Then trim with scizzors.
8. Once everything is where you want it, use a sharp scribe to poke holes.
then trimm around the poked holes with a sharp pointy exacto knife to make
the holes round.

There is a liitle patience needed at the top corners, kinda like gift wrapping.
BTW, all the stainless is new which makes the job look like a pro did it.

Good luck!
