Question about the Bat OVERLAYS???

i just put the opaque black on my 05 coupe and they look blistered.. Is this how they normally turn out or are they usually very slick and smooth??? I havent tried Andrew yet....Just looking for a quicker answer.

How did you apply them?

My overlay says to use soapy water underneath them, then squeegy out the liquid for the best smoothness.

I've done 2 of his. Try to get that water out or you can use a slight pin needle to pop it (don't worry you wont see that).

Blow dryer also helps to remove. When I did my fronts those lil bubbles vanished on there own when Mr. Sunshine said hello.

The rears were a lil bit more of a challenge because of the curves

sounds like you have moisture trapped underneath! Look here at some application guides:

The more time you give them, the better they turn out.

The worse job you did, the longer your going to have to wait
