I have some bad news guys, this would be next to impossible to apply as a precut sticker. I think it probably could be done but you would have to be so precise and there wouldn't be any room for error. I attempted 3 times to apply a precut piece with no luck, it was always looking great then I would get to the other end and it woud be all wrinkled or too short what a PITA. I worked on those for about 2 hours. Then I just took a sheet and had it all applied and trimmed in less than 20 minutes.

What I have decided to do though is if anyone is interested in getting a sheet of vinyl I will sell a sheet that is roughly close to what you will need, a little bigger for some room to mess up. Once it is on there it's easy to just cut where you need it to. Im still thinking in the neighborhood of around $15-20 shipped if anyone is still interested. I will talk with my business partner tomorrow and run it past him.

Picutres will be posted up later today.

the secret to applying vinyl to that area under the ring is.........

.......start in the middle ....then work your way to each side.

if you start on one side.. you end up using alot more vinyl than you should.

How do you cut it? With like an exacto knife? Maybe pictures or videos on where to cut also.

This is exactly how I did without much luck. I always work with flat surfaces .

Yea I took the nose ring off, put the vinyl on wetting both the lip and the sticky side of the vinyl. Then once it was where I wanted I used a heat gun (or space heater would work too) and got all the bubbles out with a squeegee. After about 20 minutes of drying I then cut around where the ring goes and then cut straight down on both sides with a flexible ruler and an exacto knife.
