Not a problem! You were one of the first people to order from me, so I'm more than happy to have your builds posted up. If you want me to add anything more to the descriptions of your pics, Id be glad to.

My '50 Olds proudly wears Darrell's pinner white wall vinyl decals.
Awesome aftermarket product.
'59 Ford Wagon aka Road Trip wears a set.

Dan..my tip is to wet the tire with water..(creates a water film)
position the vinyl on the tire and then press the decal down with your finger ..
the water will squeeze out and the decal will stick... blot dry the excess water.
The water prevents the decal from sticking till you press it down.

I just pick them up with the tip of an xacto knife blade and line them up, then press the opposite end of where the blade is and press the decal onto the tire and go around it, it should fall right into place and retain its shape. Most of the decals I have are for tires that have some kind of raised area that you can use as a guide for the decal.

Darrell , I've ordered a few sets and I love them ! Much better than water slide decals !
I also use the tip of an xacto knife and they go on fairly easy . Next time I'll try James' idea too .
