Need help with Side Stripe install

Hey guys... I had the camaro painted, and now I am putting the side stripes back on. I didnt get a diagram of where the peices go, just a whole roll of red and black peices. Does anyone have like some sort of directions or diagram for putting these stripes back on?

if i remember correctly they just follow the gfx about 1/2 inch or less above them. use a spray bottle of soap and water mixture on the body and the back of the decal to allow you to move it and adjust it. when you squeege it out the water and soap will come out and its stuck. hope that helps. you could use finline tape to line em up also run a strip of the 1/8 in stuff down to get the line straight then place the new decal on the edge of the tape.

Good idea.

...Good idea BUT, make sure to use VERY LITTLE soap. I use one drop of liguid handsoap per 1 half gallon of water. It doesn't take much.

...I installed vinyl graphics for 5 years.
