And it's hard to do. You really need two people and a enclosed garage would be beneficial or you need a really calm day, no wind.

I wouldn't recommend having your wife, who doesn't give a **** how the stripes look, be the second person.

I do custom vinyl stickers for people, and do a lot of laying. It is possible to lay them, but for no more than a vinyl shop would charge. get it done professionally. Save yourself a headache.

I did mine recently by myself..bumper to bumper. It took me a total of 8 hours to really get it right. It was my first time ever. It's not hard, you just need to take your time. You make sure to order the precut and do the wet method. You definitely need a heat gun, you can't do this project without it. Would I do it again? YES! I got really good at it
Before this, I had to remove my 6 year old stripes and it took me only 15 minutes.

Have fun doing this project.
