| BEFORE
YOU BEGIN:
- All products are designed for installation on the
outside of the vehicle.
- Required Items include an installation squeegee
(included), masking tape, glass cleaner, dry paper
towels, measuring tape or ruler.
- Do not apply any vinyl graphics in direct sunlight.
Make sure it is between 60 degrees and 80 degrees
F
- Do not store unapplied graphics in direct sunlight
- damage may occur.
- All dirt, grease and wax must be removed from the
car surface before the decal is applied. This includes
wax from mechanical car washes, rain-x, compound,
etc. Failure to take this step may result in the decal
not sticking to the vehicle surface.
| STEP
1 - UNPACK THE SHIPPING CONTAINER |
| |
Remove
the stripes from packaging. Lay stripes flat on
a smooth table in an area that is at least 60°
F and below 80° F. |
| Inspect
decals for damage during shipment. We double-check
all orders are checked prior to shipment for
damage. Any damage incurred during shipping
must be reported to us within 48 hours. |
| STEP
2 - GO OVER THE DECAL WITH THE SQUEEGEE |
| |
To
ensure that the stripe is properly stuck to the
transfer tape covering before installing it, take
the squeegee application tool and press firmly
over the whole surface of the face of the stripe
while it is still laying flat on the table. |
| |
| STEP
3 - PREPARE THE SURFACE |
| |
Using
a string or other line, place it over the vehicle
from the front to the back in the desired location
for the stripes. Be sure that the string is symetrically
centered on the vehicle. mark this location with
a pencil of other nonpermanent marking device
at the front and the rear of each body panel.
This will serve as the location of the edge of
the stripes. |
| All
waxes, oils, and polish must be removed from
the vehicle surface to insure that the decal
will stick properly Make sure the area is at
least 60° F and no hotter than 80° F. |
| STEP
4 - PLACE THE STRIPES |
| Measure
the length of each body panel to which the stripe
is to be applied. Lay the stripe section over
the area of the vehicle, trimming the excess stripe
off one end (leave at least an inch entra) Save
all cut off pieces, as they can be used to cover
bumpers and fins. |
|
| Once
the decal is aligned to the vehicle, stand back
and look at the decal. it should be level with
respect to the ground. Adjust as necessary. |
| STEP
5 - SECURE THE STRIPES |
| |
Place
a strip of masking tape at one end of the stripe,
as this will hold the end of the stripe while
installing. Working from that end to the other,
slowly peel back the release paper 1/2 way down
and spray the body surface with a fine mist of
water solution (not soapy solution). With a squeegee,
apply the stripe to the body panel working from
the center of the stripe outward. As you work
further down the stripe, slowly continue to remove
the backing paper as needed. Slowly continue to
apply the stripe with the squeegee, applying even
pressure across the width of the stripe. |
| |
| STEP
6 - REMOVE THE BACKING PAPER |
| Once
the entire piece is applied, remove the masking
tape from the end of the stripe. Next remove the
transfer tape covering, carefully pulling parallel
to the surface of the vehicle. |
|
| |
| STEP
7 - FINISH INSTALLATION |
| |
Any
small air pockets can be easily removed by first
placing a small hole in the bubble (small hole,
not large slice). Then moisten the squeegee edge
with water and slide the squeegee along the surface
of the stripe where the bubble is, working the
air towards the hole. |
| The
squeegee must be kept wet when using it on the
strip once the protective transfer tape is removed
during installation. Most small air bubbles
will dissolve within 2 weeks due to sunlight
and temperature changes. |
| STEP
10 - SQUEEGEE AND BEGIN TAPE REMOVAL |
 |
Once
the entire sticky side of the decal is applied
to the vehicle, go over the decal with the application
squeegee, with increasingly harder strokes. Then
begin peeling the transfer tape covering the decal. |
| The
transfer tape covering is made of paper with
a sticky backing. This must be removed after
the decal is installed. The vehicle surface
must be proper temperature for this tape to
be removed easily. |
CARE
AND MAINTENANCE:
Once the decal is installed, to keep it looking new,
simply wash it whenever you wash the vehicle. You can
apply car wax, clearcoat, or RainEx over the decal once
it is applied. your new decal will give you years of
great looks. If you are in cold climate be careful when
using an ice scraper on any surface where decals are
applied. All
of our products are custom made to order. There are
no refunds, no exchanges and no returns on any of
our products. If you destroy the decal during installation,
we may offer you a replacement at a reduced cost.
In order to qualify for a lower cost replacement,
you must send us the damaged decal. Management reserves
the right to modify this policy.
