I did a thread on a big flex body with decal install, you need to buy 3M primer 94 for the wrap to stick properly.

Sure why not, what could possibly go wrong with using a heat gun on plastic. Or again just use what I said and cut everyone else's opinion out of the equation. Your call

I can attest to Ryan’s use of 3M primer adhesive. I’ve actually cracked my rear fender on my 30 degree body through massive abuse and the decal remains firmly attached.
If you want to go the extra mile research flame treating plastic. It is hitting the surface with a torch moving quickly changes the top substrate of the plastic. It is used on polypro & polyethylene for adhesion.
I did both
. I used a MAPP gas torch, you will see the change in the surface as you work it but move fast! You are just licking the surface not barbecuing it!
