Hot Wheels Elite 1:18 Ecto-1
Door Logos
You will need:
Your Finger Nail
Micro Set ($4 at hobby shops)
2 WET Q-Tips
Bowl of Water
Paper Towel
Tape
Comet Soft Cleanser or Car Scratch remover
Remove your old logos w/ your finger nail.
Remove gray outline w/ comet soft cleanser & water (as member filandrius showed us how to)
After you clean the door and dry it off, you can use come car wax on the door to get it nice, shiny, clean, & free of any micro scratches before the new logo goes on. You won’t be able to do this after logo is applied.
Tape off these measurements so that when the decal is wet and coming off paper you can place it in right place:
Measure 5/16" from base of red ban to bottom door line
Passenger Door: 11/16" from finger to rear door line
Passenger Door: 1 & 2/16" from finger to front door line
Driver Door: 13/16" from finger to rear door line
Driver Door: 1" from finger to front door line
First hold decal under water for 5 seconds only
Set on paper towel and count to 15
Put a little Micro Set & water on the door in taped off area(this is a good idea since we can’t clear coat the doors!)
When applying be careful I used minimal clear coat (don't want noticeable edges!) so the decal is very fragile.
And make sure the little hand is just slightly higher than the big hand!
If you need to get any wrinkles or air bubbles out use 2 WET q-tips and be GENTLE.
Don't even look at it until its been 24hrs!
License Plate
What you need:
Metal Tape (provided w/ your order)

Cut License Plate out of decal sheet so that there's no edges showing.
Cut Metal Tape to size of original tag and tape over them.
Hold decal under water for 5 seconds only
Set on paper towel and count to 15
Put a little water on the Metal Tape & slide License Plate off on to it
Remove air bubbles properly align decal to be straight w/ Wet Q-Tips
Do Not Touch for 24hrs!
