The hood black out is really easy to apply but can be a pain in the backside.
Tricks:
1)Do not apply when too cold, windy or in the direct sun
2)A Spray bottle with hot water/ and a few drops of dawn dishwashing detergent (in the farming business they call it adjuvant)
3) Saturate the hood with the soapy spray (and I mean saturate) and saturate the back side of the decal (this is a two person job- and you best have a good relationship with the other person so you don't come to blows) By saturate, I mean dripping saturate every inch. This keeps the two sides from sticking should they accidentally touch, and it allows you to slide the decal around on the hood until it is perfectly in place.
4) Make sure you have no belt buckle, button, watch, rings, or anything else that could scratch paint of the decal when you are applying. It will come with a squeegee. I prefer to use a microfiber clothe to apply. Once the decal is in the right place start in the center and gently start squeegying out the water from under the decal. Do not apply too much pressure as you don't want the decal to move or be torn.
See .. really easy!
