Chrome Lettering to be installed
Just received my Chrome lettering front and back and now have to instal it. They have provided a template and it all looks relatively straight forward as there is selfadhesive tape on the letters...however - how should I prepare the surface?
I was thinking a good t cut and polish then sit them on that but should I be doing anything else?
As always, the inspiration, guidance, advice and humour provided by the members of this forum is appreciated!!

before sticking them on, as with anything adhesive going onto a vehicle always wipe down with alcohol. I personally use meths. This will remove any grease or surface residue left and ensure the sticky bits won't come off in the wash...
do not use paint thinners / cellulose thinners etc as this removes paint and lacquer etc.
I have used meths for over 30 years and never ever had a problem.
