Default Magnetic black out?

I just got the magnetic blackout panel that I ordered from American Muscle on Saturday and when I opened the package it was all rolled up. No big deal......but how do I get rid of the "waves"? The only thing that was in the box was the reciept. Should I use a hair dryer or something? Any suggestions would be helpful...thanks

FYI....I put it on the fridge and for the entire day yesterday...and it did not fix itself. Than I took out a blow dryer....turned it on high...went over the panel a few times than used a microfiber cloth to press it down. Within three minutes it was perfectly flat. Too bad I can't put it on yet because of the stupid 6 inches of snow we got yesterday/this morning [:@]

If you plan on having it on your D.D. I suggest taking it off once or twice a week to clean behind it. When I had mine I was getting little dots of surface rust here and there behind it. No biggie, they would pretty much just wipe away, but I did not like the idea.
Taking it off/on gets pretty old after a while, I ended up having it painted.


I think its more of a temporary mod. To see if its something you want to be permanant, then get it painted.

Painting it down the line is more or less my plan. I just wanted to see if I like it for awhile before I dump money into painting it. How much was it to get the area painted???
