replacing woodgrain on side panels

[rollo]

Help! I got all of the woodgrain off the sides of my '85 Grande Wagoneer, and when I try to put the new di-nac film on, I can't keep it from having bubbles and wrinkles. Is there some special trick to installing the stuff?

try doing it like window tint spay a soloution of dish washing soap and water so you can use a rubber squegee to smooth it out and get it slid where you want it defore it sticks and then the soap and water evaporates

I've also seen a pro use a razor blade to make tiny slices over the bubble that will not come out after useing the soap solution .

I noticed you savvy guys overlooked one other trick. When useing the squegee start in the center and work to the outside edges. That gives the air bubles a place to go! http://www.ifsja.org/ubb/smile.gif
