Laid on my decal and did 6 coats of clear coat. 30 minutes between each coat. Let it dry completely before peeling tape from edges. Although it might feel dry on the outside. The inside layers may still be wet. Paint can lift off. I let everything dry over
night once again before actually driving it on the road to be safe.







Can somebody tell me the measurements of the rear decal to fit right? lol I always get overlapping on that edge
