How do I apply coating between graphics

[hoyt66]

I've been practicing with coatings all summer and I'm now going to do my Challenger. I recently replace all my graphics to get them back to matte finish. I used to wax right over them and as a result they obviously lost their matte appearance. I since have been using matte specific product on them and rarely touch them now. My question is how do you polish-prep and coat around them without touching the matte graphics? Thanks

TAPE- Masking tape

I would agree with dcjredline and simply tape off your graphics. Shouldn't take too long and simply pull it off when you're done.

Depending on how freshly the graphics have been applied you might want to reduce the adhesive a bit from the tape by applying it first to your clothing or something nearby to temper down the "stick".

Both great tips. Thank you both.
