First clean the paint with alcohol or DX330. Then postion the decals with masking tape and apply half at a time. Tape acts as a hinge. You can use the lub as a release agent that will allow the paper to come right off imediatly. Just spray it on top of the paper and it will release it.
I've applied many decals over the years and have always let the decal dry then removed the paper. I watched my painter apply these strips in about 10 mins, paper off rightaway at the show floor.No BS
