I use the lense cleaning tissues (dry) and Future. Soak the tissue in Future and lay it on your part like a decal. Then paint it, clear it with a very, very slight tint of green or light brown. or keep coating with Future until it is smooth enough for you.
here is one I bought at Harbor Freight that works great for small parts and different colors in one session.

In places where a hot towel won't work I use a Q-tip. Dip the Q-tip in water and hold it on a hot soldering iron until it starts to steam the gently press the decal into position.
