Clean the metal completely and make sure it is dry.  Apply the vinyl mask to the metal, burnish down all the pieces and peel off the backing sheet.

Instead of "weeding" the unwanted vinyl before you place it onto the target surface, you can also just apply the entire cut vinyl with the backing sheet, and then weed it after it is on the target surface.  In this case, I found that to be much easier.
