They were relatively easy to apply (they’re stickers) - but I did have difficulty with getting them to lie down over irregular surfaces or curves. The pattern is also a bit shallow and uniform. If you’re looking for alternatives, DEF model’s zimmerit sheets are water-based decals + resin hybrid and look pretty great. They’re also cheaper than ATAK zimmerit (at least here where I live) - but the latter might look more convincing.
