No humidity was pretty low it was about a month ago. I am going to try again in the spring. I will sand them this time. Where did you get your decals?

gotcha. also it may help a little but i pre trimmed all the excess film down real close to the actual decal, so the surface area i was applying was as minimal as possible, here the link where i bought mine off ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Camaro-SS-B...item2383c12d39
