I got these put on tonight...and have some small bubbles under the flat black stripes...not sure how to get them out..

Any ideas.

Looks good wait a week or so and see if it settles if not bring it back to the place that installed it

Leave it out in the sun for an hour. Then poke the bubble with a needle or razor knife. Then press down the sides towards the hole. This is exactly what they'd do if you brought it back. You could use a heat gun/hair dryer also but don't melt it.

if it is good vehicle vinyl, they will go away
Wait before putting holes in them. Vehicle vinyl has air chambers so the air can escape.

(I work for a printing and sign company, we do vehicle wraps as well)

Thanks for the info...I had put the strips on myself...the vinyl backing says 3m Scotchprint.

Man that looks great!

Just got my stripes done a week ago. Makes a huge difference.

Bonus points for doing them yourself....I was not that brave.

There are many grades of 3M vinyl. Can you find out from who you purchased them from?
