Hey you pros out there!

I usually get Tamiya bodies because they are the most realistic and detailed.

Anyway, how do you get the stickers to stay on for a long time? Or keep them from peeling up? The other Tamiya ones I've done, the lining around the windows and door "lines" have started to peel back. It's pretty depressing.

Also, I am doing my car all yellow. Do I do it in this order:

Yellow with windows masked
White behind yellow with windows masked
Window Tint with masks removed

Thanks!

I'm by no means an expert on this subject, but I have found it helpful not to have any sharp corners on the stickers when you cut them out. I always try and make the edges round. Make sure to thoroughly clean the exterior of the car before applying the stickers. I even wipe the area off with a bit of rubbing alcohol before applying the stickers. Good Luck!
