GEN 1 Graphics install

I ordered my graphics from rappy graphics. Has any one installed themselves? I plan on doing it this weekend

I got a hood decal from them. I did not install it but they do excellent work.

There are some fairly good youtube vids on techniques for installing graphics. I have found them helpful before, but never done anything that big myself

Rappy Graphics has a few videos on their YouTube channel of installs. No side graphics but there are two hood install vids. There's no instructions, more of a "fly on the wall" style vids, but I felt like after watching them you can get an idea of the process.

Couldn't sleep so I found myself surfing for vids on YouTube. Looks like the channel called "Arlon Graphics" has some informative videos.

Here is a great one on squeegee technique that looks like it would be applicable to installing side graphics:

Here is one on installing large (a hood) graphics with one person. I think I'll still bribe a friend to help haha...

Fixing wrinkles & bubbles (this will probably be the video I get the most use out of) lol

I installed mine by myself. Took at lot longer than described in those videos, but it's definitely doable. Just keep the graphic damp until you have it in position. Once you start applying pressure and squeegeeing, work from top to bottom or from one side to the other. I was nervous when I started, but it's really easier than it looks. Good luck and let's see the pics.

I put mine on myself. It would have been straight forward, but the box came out of the mail almost completely smashed flat.

It had many wrinkles that needed to be worked out and I still need to take a hair dryer to some parts to work out the kinks. It helps quite a bit to have an extra set of hands.

Anyone buy graphics from the the ford raptor store? Their hood graphic is abit closer to what I wanted, almost the same as a stock hood graphic

Rappy Graphics. He'll make anything you want from stock look to what you can dream up. Much better material quality than stock.
