A bit finicky. Read this review for installation tips

My wife an I are perfectionists even when we don't need to be. There are a few things to know before installing that I wish we knew beforehand.
1. These are _individual_ stickers on the sheet. The kit is not one big plastic sheet that contains one decal. The instructions say to trim as close to the sticker as possible if you want to install "freehand." (Think model airplane decals). This isn't necessary. In fact, if you are going to install freehand, you probably don't want to trim too close.
2. The stickers are a vinyl type. They're not as delicate as I thought they would be. Again, they're not model airplane type decals. They've got some thickness to them so don't worry too much about jostling them around. That being said, once you press them down _hard_ they're staying so if you go easy you can re-position them without too much trouble.
3. Don't count on the stickers being centered in the sheet. In fact, my stickers were about 1/4" off of being centered in the sheet. Luckily, I noticed that before we pressed them down hard.
4. The pictures show the shark mouth pretty far forward. If you've got the larger mixer like I do you want to make sure that you install the stickers pretty far forward. As you can see from the pictures we had to do some cutting of the red and white stickers at the rear. (Explained later)
5. The red and white stripes at the rear can get wrinkled if you install them on the cove of the back part of the mixer. My wife and I took a razor knife and cut where the red and white meet, raised the sticker up a bit and then pressed them down. This does make every other cutout overlap but it looks much better than a wrinkle.

Overall it is a two person job unless you're installing freehand. I do think however that the stickers will be collecting lots of dust and flower where they're stuck to the mixer. The instructions say you can clean up with mineral spirits. Only time will tell how long they last.

Textured gunmetal grey? No problem!

Looks better than I had hoped for! I was cautious about how well it would stick since my mixer is textured, but they were easy to place and show no signs of coming off by accident.

Looks freaking awesome. We'll be buying some red vinyl to make ...

We exchanged our newly bought blue kitchenaid for a silver one just so we could use this. Looks freaking awesome. We'll be buying some red vinyl to make the "nose" of the kitchenaid red as well in order to complete the look.

This is even cooler than Alton Browns.

Buy it. You won't regret.

It's badass. It's not perfect. You need lots of patience to ensure the stickers peel onto the sheet and the same as when peeling off. I was concerned it would blend into my red mixer but as you can see, it's great!

durable, and attention getting!

I have read complaints of vinyl not sticking or it was a difficulty to install. I did not experience this at all. I read hints on how to perfectly align the pattern from other customers--cutting out holes--and I'm very pleased! It's a great conversation piece for the kitchen, and I no part of decal has lifted from KitchenAid; I have been cleaning it. My only compliant is aesthetic, and nothing about that which is already there, but the pattern is lacking a little something-something on the "nose" area where additional parts come to be attachments. Other than that, I love it! (also, decal looks much better on stainless model than on my white model....)

Deserving of your man-card
by Skip (5 out of 5 stars)

I was told to hand in my man-card when I bragged about my KA mixer at work. I showed that female a picture of my white mixer with the Flying Tiger Shark Plane stickers affixed. Instant 180 degree turn. She started gushing about how masculine and manly it made the cooking look (not that manly cooking is a personal concern). Next thing I know, she is calling all the girls over to see the pics of my mixer. If only I had found this in my 20's...

Fun for airplane lovers!

These are great! I loved my kitchen aid already, and now I love it more. I am a huge aviation fan and this is such a great way to bring it into my kitchen decor. I was very surprised by how easy the decals were to apply. With careful centering, I was able to put them on in one try in one big sheet. Perfect!

Some clarification on the item description:

The "red, white, navy blue, and black" are the colors on the decal itself: red stripes, white teeth, black outline, blue numbers, etc. I thought it was the background color and at first was hesitant since my mixer is silver.

There is no background color to this decal, nor is it a transparent background -- this set is actually multiple decals laid out on a sheet in the precise layout you need. You line up the entire sheet at once and apply it as a unit.

It is very easy to apply. You want to take your time and make sure it's lined up correctly, but I probably applied mine in less than 10 minutes.
------

Update: my stand mixer ended up having an issue and needed to be sent back (along with my beautiful decals!) It should be a testament to the quality of these that I ordered a set for my replacement mixer practically the same day. This set has been on my new mixer for a year now and still looks as fabulous as ever. I can't imagine having a stand mixer without these.

Simple and looks cool. That's all you need to know.

Exactly as advertised. I found it easier to cut out the decals and lay them on one at a time instead of one large sheet. Put them on my black artisan.
