I've done one car with a bat and not screwed up paint. heat guns and LOTS of time. LOTS.
Dang man. I am too scared to roll my own fenders. Paint an body work is usually where I draw the line lol. I do have my fenders rolled though. Just trying to pick the wheels to shove in there lol.

I practiced on older cars before I ever did a newer one, lol. The key is heat and going as slow as possible :)

The mod podge is more so to protect the stickers themselves from deteriorating in the elements.

still trying to figure out where to put the spikes, since the holes for the tabs on the rear toyota emblem are not straight :( I'll probably still put them on the front where my liscence plate is, whenever i get around to mounting it on my lip, lol.
