I've done a few pinball cabinets, not incredibly difficult if you're careful. Lay the cabinet horizontal on a work bench. Line decal up, orient edges by shining a flashlight through to check for alignment. Weigh down one side and start applying first 8" on opposite end. Get rid of weight, roll up that end and keep going, cut the decal backing away in 8" sections.
Wet method is easy, spray as you go they squeegee away. Water with a small amount or soap or alcohol, get a smooth squeegee that won't scratch and be careful not to stretch decal. Some are made cheap, thin and almost stretchy.
Use a sharp utility knife and steady hand at correct angle to cut away excess decal material.
