Getting the tools right is always a good start and don't forget to clean the surface before you apply.

Decide the right position and, secure in place lightly with masking tape while you check.
![Offer it up.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_be4a964df7404d2bb1a8ed5ae727a7c8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_80,h_60,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Offer%20it%20up.jpg)
Once happy with position create a hinge using masking tape along the top of the stencil.
![Hinge when in position.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_62a8100b70004b84b883c228ab931807~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_64,y_0,w_272,h_298/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Hinge%20when%20in%20position.jpg)
Lift the stencil on the hinge and remove the backing paper carefully.
![Hinge and remove backing.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_2f0da14d50854457a676e93e956e4fdf~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Hinge%20and%20remove%20backing.jpg)
Use a squeegee (or credit card, or smooth surface) to remove any air pockets.
![Smooth Down with Applicator.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_8bff811ba369482fb7f9c89153851723~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Smooth%20Down%20with%20Applicator.jpg)
Re smooth if necessary, again using smooth surface.
![Resmooth if necessary.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_087a989fb9734112af6711a3dd5d4114~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Resmooth%20if%20necessary.jpg)
So finally prep done lets start painting, it may take more than one coat so take your time.
![Finally carefully apply paint.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_0987a69401364833aa18afbceb7998dc~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_61,y_0,w_278,h_304/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Finally%20carefully%20apply%20paint.jpg)

Remember always prep the surface, and make sure its clean.

Measure and position exactly where its needed., some people do use a spirit level to check the position.
![Measure and position.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_cb1f05ce37d64f8c900fc0e2c9a651d4~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Measure%20and%20position.jpg)
It maybe necessary to make adjustments to the stencil to get it to fit your vehicle. Here we have had to cut it to allow for the grab handle.
![Adjust if necessary.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_fba318a4f3a74bb7b700922409515603~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_60,y_0,w_281,h_307/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Adjust%20if%20necessary.jpg)
Once removed carefully smooth down on to the body/surface of the vehicle.
![Apply Carefully To Body.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_876ef7bd481f4176957d7cbf4765759e~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Apply%20Carefully%20To%20Body.jpg)
Carefully peel back the application tape from the front of the stencil.
![remove the application tape (2).jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_4c8fe207ac7a438f9762df53a1aac274~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/remove%20the%20application%20tape%20(2).jpg)
We chose to use a roller rather than spray paint but the choice is yours.
![Paint.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_247cac169cef4b9ca4fe4c6ca70313a9~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Paint.jpg)
Completely cover the stencil, it might take a few coats.
![Cover the complete stencil.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f4c0b8_1b8f971e13a04da8a0a3407cfd7e77ee~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_63,y_0,w_274,h_300/fill/w_80,h_87,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Cover%20the%20complete%20stencil.jpg)
Gently peel back the stencil from the body.
