| 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
8 - 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
