What happens here

Carefully position the 'PAINT LIFE' decal onto the downtube of the bicycle frame. Once aligned, slowly peel back a small section of the decal's backing liner. Use a squeegee to firmly press the exposed vinyl onto the frame, working from the peeled section outwards. Continue to peel the backing liner away gradually with one hand while simultaneously using the squeegee with the other hand to smooth the vinyl onto the surface, applying even pressure to prevent air bubbles and ensure strong adhesion. The video shows this technique from multiple angles across different time segments.

Goal: Securely apply the main 'PAINT LIFE' decal to the bicycle's downtube.
