Brian, the trick to sticky vinyl application is liberal use of soapy water. Spray it onto the surface and then place the vinyl on it. I get the surface dripping wet with the solution. Soapy water lubricates the adhesive and allows some movement to its final spot. Then you can work the water and bubbles out with a cotton cloth, working from the middle, out.

Vinyl the Sign shop had. It has about the same sheen as the finish on the plane. Designed the scheme in CAD and exported to a EP format that the signcutter used.
This was my first try, got some bubbles here and there. But overall looks better than any paint I would put on.
