Will give you the short version as is It easy all depends if your handy doing this sort of stuff

First degrease item
Scotch item
Prime
Wet flat
Top coat
Then you need water in a dipping tank heated to about 27c
Lay film on water
Spray activator on film (wait about a minute before spraying)
Dip item on a angle through film
Rinse clean
Clear coat
