Many of our decals and stickers — such as XT500 replica side cover and tank decals — are best applied using the wet method for smooth, bubble-free results. Follow these steps:

1. Store the stickers flat at room temperature for a few hours before use.
2. Ensure surfaces are clean and grease-free. Stickers and surfaces should be at room temperature.
3. Mix ~0.5L water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
4. Generously moisten the surface with the soapy water.
5. Peel off the backing film gently and also moisten the adhesive side.
6. Place the decal lightly on the surface without pressing firmly yet.
7. Float and align the decal until positioned correctly.
8. Fix the decal at the centre and press out water/bubbles from the centre outward using a soft cloth. Small bubbles will disappear by themselves — do not puncture.
9. As decals are not fuel/solvent resistant, seal with clear lacquer for protection.
