NO HOLES!!! If you have not yet done this, time to do it right. Any good auto paint supply house carries a spray product that is used to set the decals. Very similar to the soap and water process mentioned but without the film and bubbles soap leaves behind. Yes, use a small squeege and the spray and the decals go on very easily. Make certain the metal is clean, grease free and warm is good. Apply the sprayaccording to the directions and with a little time and effort the decals look professional. Mike

do they come in one piece ? I just did a 4455 and they were in two pieces per side still it works best if you have 2 people , 3 is even better !

If they came in a box rolled up lay them out with some thing weighting the ends down and put them somewhere warm or in the sun, this will help a bunch. You can poke holes in them if you get air under it, but I just leave them and let the air come out by itself. This might take alittle while depending on how warm it is.

First of all, have the tractor inside out of the wind. Have someone help you if you can. If air gets under the decal, use a pin and make a very, very small hole in the decal where the air is, and then work the air out.
