How to: Gladiator Hood Decal Replacement or Install.... well any Jeep really.

Pixel Decals hooked us up with a new set of the Rubicon hood decals that match up to our color tastes a little better. Let us know what you think!!

I’m sure you know what you’re doing, but just a tip for next time: Applying decals and anything of the sort (tint), you apply soapy water to the decal and vehicle, so the sticky side don’t stick. You can move it around and shift it as you like. Once in place where you want it, you take the application tool (flat plastic thing) and rub the soapy water out and then finish it off by applying pressure back and forth across the decal, and add heat if needed. If any bubbles, just poke it with a needle and press it out with the plastic tool. Once the water is pressed out and dried, decal will stick. That’s how the professionals do wrap, decals, and tint. Most people (even the pros) will screw up if they have to apply sticky directly to dry vehicle with no way to move it around. You did an over the top excellent job here, I know most people won’t be able to do it like you did here. Great job! Looks awesome!

That's a good way to do it too. I've used that method with mixed results. A couple times the water soap mixture didn't dry and the sticker didn't stay stuck long.

Nice job! Finally, a video that showed the whole process, thank you.

Looks much better than the stock decal, good choice. I would mention that the heat gun can cause some problem if not used with care, burnt paint and warped metal......a hair dryer can also work well but can cause the same problem as the heat gun. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a decal fan, I do agree the green looks alot better than the original red. As always great video Oscar, thanks for the content.

I've used a heat gun to "melt" faded black plastic trim on my wife's Hummer. Do you use the highest setting when removing a decal? I'd worry about messing the paint up on too high of a heat.

Ouch .. saw and heard the razor blade clip your hood and I cringed... !! Should have used thin scissors.
