Default Flamed Tank Decals

Anyone install decals and what do you think of the process? Did you have alot of trouble with wrinkles or air bubbles.I seen some pretty nice decals I wouldn't mine installing on my scooter, but don't want to end up with a mess.

Thanks
Tom

I got this link from another post a while back:

http://cyclegraphics.com/

This isnt paint and I didn't find anything that would fit my ride, but it's so inexpensive it's worth a look.

I've helped put decals on a race car and they laid down around the rounded edges very well. Could be in how well the product is suited to that sort of thing. I've seen a friend's metric with decal flames and it fooled me into thinking they were painted on. I wouldn't put them on my bike, but how's about you givin' it a try, Tom. Put photos on here of your handiwork and if we vote against it you can always take them back off!

Dacal are cheaper, but paint would be the best way to go, in my opinion. Tim
