FOR THIS EXAMPLE BELOW, I USED THE COVER OF A CATALOG AND A SHARPIE FOR THE PAINT, SO YOU WILL GET MUCH BETTER RESULTS,, RIGHT ?
JUST MAKE SURE YOUR SEAT COVER IS CLEAN, DRY AND WARM (60_DEGREES_OR_ABOVE)
ON USED COVERS WITH OLD EMBLEMS, WHAT I DO IS GET A CLEAN SHOP RAG, THEN WITH MY CAN OF SPRAY CARB CLEANER, I WET A SMALL SPOT OF THE RAG AND WIPE AWAY THE OLD EMBLEM, THEN "RIGHT_AWAY" USE A DRY SHOP RAG TO DRY THE WET CLEANER OFF. USE EYE AND HAND PROTECTION AND OUTSIDE AWAY FROM ANY IGNITION SOURCES (: __IF YOU DO USE SPRAY CAN CARB CLEANER, LET IT SET AFTER FOR AN HOUR OR SO TO COMPLETELY DRY. BEFORE USING THE STENCIL
FOR PAINT YOU CAN GO TO MOST ANY AUTO PARTS STORE AND GET VINYL SPRAY PAINT, OR ACE HARDWARE MAYBE ? I GOT THE SILVER I USED ON LINE, THIS IS WHAT I USE ON CT70'S AND 90'S . plasti-kote vinyl color #421 silver smoke metallic upc code 7191516769. SOME BIKES/TRIKES USED SILVER SOME WHITE AND SOME GOLD. GOOD LUCK SHOPPING, JUST REMEMBER (GET_VINLY_PAINT_IT_EATS_IT'S_WAY_INTO_THE _SERFACE_OF_THE_COVER)

| @ THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET,, IT HAS 3 LAYERS ,, 1 NON_STICK BACK SHEET,, 1 VINYL SHEET WITH THE LETTERS CUT OUT OF IT (STICKY_BACKED),, AND 1 APP. TAPE TO HELP HOLD THE SMALL PARTS IN PLACE TILL APPLYED TO COVER , JUST A LITTLE BIT STICKY
| | | @ FIRST REMOVE THE NON STICK BACK PAPER
| | | @ BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE ALL THE LETTER CENTER PARTS STAY WITH THE STENCIL,, IE THE CENTER OF THE O/D/AND A
| | | @ NOW THE TRICKY PART !! ___ APPLY THE STENCIL LIKE AN EMBLEM, BUT USE NO APPLICATION FLUIDS!! , THEN BE SURE TO GET THE LETTERING EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT THEM YOU ONLY GET ONE !! TRY AT THIS
| | | @ AFTER YOU HAVE THE STENCIL PLACED AND RUBBED DOWN VERY VERY GOOD !! THEN START AT A CORNER AND PEAL AWAY THE TOP TAPE LAYER. THIS TAPE IS STICKY, BUT NOT AS STICKY AS THE VINYL SO THE LETTERS AND LETTER CENTERS SHOULD STAY PUT.
| | | @ WHEN PEELING OFF THE TAPE GO VERY SLOW AND WATCH THE LETTERING/PARTS TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY STUCK DOWN TO THE SEAT. THE PROCESS WORKS BEST IF YOU PULL THE TAPE FOLDED OVER LIKE IN THE PICTURE HERE
| | | @ AFTER YOU GET TO THIS POINT MAKE SURE ALL THE EDGES ARE TIGHT TO THE COVER, THEN YOU REALLY NEED TO TAPE SOME PAPER ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE STENCIL TO CATCH ANY OVERSPRAY !!
| | | @ THEN SPRAY YOUR WELL SHAKEN VINYL PAINT IN LIGHT FEATHERED STROKES TILL IT LOOKS ALL EVENLY COATED (: ___ LET DRY FOR A FEW HOURS AND ...
| | | @ AFTER THE PAINT IS VERY DRY PEEL OFF THE VINYL SHEET SLOWLY AND AGAIN FOLDED OVER LIKE IN PICTURE
| | | @ THEN PEEL OUT ALL THE SMALL REMAINING PEICES, BE CAREFUL A LARGE NEEDLE WORKS GOOD IF YOUR NOT TOO RAMMY AND POKE INTO THE COVER ):
| | | @ OK GO FOR A RIDE,, DONE
