Howdy,

1) What adhesive do you recommend for attaching the metal faceplate to the coin door on a Cavalier 96?

2) How do you apply vinyl decals?

3) How long after painting do you wait before applying decals?

Thanks!
Jeff

As far as the vinyl decals... they do say to wait for a while to let paint cure as it emits some gassess or something which can cause bubbles in the vinyl, but that's an easy fix with a razer blade tip , just pop the bubble.
some use windex on the machine first which allows the vinyle to be moved around a bit, I just tape the backing material on the machine with tape and positiion where you want it then pull of the facing material and slowly apply the vinyl and use one of those little scraper tools or credit card. Then remove the backing... if you use the windex on it first, still allows a little movememt then squeegee out the moisture and let it dry.
Hope this helps. I'm sure there are more and better tips out there from members or on google
