Thread: Air bubbles in PORSCHE decals

  1. #1

    Air bubbles in PORSCHE decals

    I installed my decals today and there are some very small air bubbles in some spots, to small to relieve with a needle. If I add heat will they disappear or am I stuck with them?


    Thanks, Steve.

    Tito...you work for Raid?? cause you got those words of wisdom..That's impressive. I prefer poking a hole w/ a needle though it can be tedious.
    Patience is a virtue.
    "PORSCHE" script looks good on your 69-SWT...I love your car Tito, wish I owned it.

    If it's just air bubbles and not dirt, they will go away on their own.

    Good point. -
    It would be interesting that it would have an intense texture to it, something like elephant hide.
