You can use a double sided tape. They sell those at autozone. The color is grey and the protective film is red.

did you clear coat yet? or plan to?

I attempted to paint my lip kit this past spring with chinto....we had little success. I'll tell you right now that cheap clear coat does not work well. Go for duplicolor at least if you can. I dont know how your spray gun thing works but be careful if you do clearcoat, you gotta do it nice and thick.

We did mine too thin (too much air compared to clearcoat) and it got really bad orange peel. And since the clear coat was really thin we couldnt even wetsand it smooth. By the time we got it smooth it was down to the paint.

Just a heads up, best of luck!
