I just put on a MameMarquees.com Side Art.....I misted the painted side with water, applied, and rubbed out bubbles with a cotton cloth.  ;D

The first side I used windex and a squeegee.  It scared the crap out of me cause the windex took a while to dry.

After I did that, however, people started saying it was a bad idea.

The second side I didn't use any sort of soap or liquid.  I weighted the art and pealed the backing off and squeegeed it on (2-person job).  There is a pic near the bottom of this post and a better explanation.

I liked the second method better, but it was quite stressfull.  Screw up and you're screwed.   ???
