did you use a heat gun? works better if you soften up the vinyl.

i used heat gun and followed directions but got crazy bubbles so i tried to lift it off cause when i sqweegied it i made a wrinkle.total disaster.once it goes on it hard to peel off even with water it doesnt move around muchlike i expected it would and the adhesive on it leaves marks on the overlay that looks like ***..ive done window tint before no problem but this is different animal .

Just have them painted. It'll be about the same price and won't look like ***.
