Black Vinyl on Lower Valance

Tech_06 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-05-2009, 12:16 AM

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to ways they have put vinyl on their lower valance (lower bumper). I tried it today and was unsuccessful. I tried soap and water to help squeeze bubbles out. The main problem is the vinyl is straight and hard to get flat on all three sides (top, front, bottom) with out having creases. Anyone have any insight to how to approach this?

What you want to do is use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the vinyl so that you can stretch it. So start from one surface using a squeegee to work out bubbles and creases while heating it and stretching it over the surfaces you want to cover.

if its giving you too big of a headache you can just paint it...
