I assume you mean a very tiny amount of washing up liquid Mike.

Yes. Practice with an off-cut of sticker/vinyl material to see how long it takes to 'stick' once you squeegee out the water. Too much detergent and it will never stick because even though the water has evaporated you are left with a slimy layer. TBH, I'm not sure you need any detergent at all. Try it with just water first...on an off-cut.

Phil, try some 2H2O if you can get, it has a slightly higher boiling point than H2O, thus giving you those extra precious seconds to get the alignment perfect. ;)

Wheel spats are prepared now, so next job is to etch prime and paint up in the three colours required. :) With the help of my "female assistant" a visit to Halfords RC colours shop, :lol: with some Oracover. Four eyes comparing colours better than two.

The nearest results were: Blue 52 = Fiat Capri Blue. Flame Red 22 = Ford Carnival Red

Phil - If you get stuck on another colour match problem, try Rainbow Paints on the Ferndown Ind
Est - they can mix to RAL & B.S numbers etc , also they can scan a sample and mix accordingly.
Well worth popping in when you venture into Dorset.
