| 1) Tools needed:
Spray bottle, razor blade or scissors, squeegee, blow dryer or heat
gun, tape measure, masking tape and a friend to help |
2) Clean entire
surface of vehicle thoroughly. Mix a gallon or so of water with
a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid works fine. |
3) Hold stripe
next to vehicle to give you an idea of where it's going to go. Use
the masking tape to hold in place. |
|

|
|
| 4) Make sure
the front of the stripe and the back is evenly spaced. |
5) Spray entire
area of vehicle that is going to receive graphic with water solution. |
6) Remove the
backing and place the decal, still attached to the transfer tape,
to the thoroughly wetted surface. |

7)
The decal can now be moved and repositioned correctly, as it will
slide on the thin film of solution trapped between the vinyl decal
and the surface.
|
8) When the
decal is in the final location, use the squeegee to squeeze the
water and detergent solution out from under the decal. The
transfer tape will protect the Decal during this process. |
9) Be sure
to squeegee as much solution as possible from under the Decal. Take
your time, because if not enough solution is removed from under
the Decal, it will not adhere to the surface enough to allow the
easy removal of the transfer tape. |

|
| 10) Although
a Squeegee is the recommend tool, the water can be also removed
using the fingers, or a soft cloth. When through with the squeegee,
the transfer tape can be carefully removed. Work the Decal
with your fingers, and a soft, absorbent cloth around the edges
to remove any remaining solution. Warm weather is best for this
application. |
11) If there
are bubbles present under the Decal that cannot be removed by working
them to the edge of the Decal with your fingers, then a small pin
or needle can be used to puncture the Decal at the bubble, and remove
the air. A small pin hole will not be seen after the air bubble
has been worked out with the fingers. |
12)
Trim all edges, hood, doors, etc. of excess vinyl with razor. Use
razor to cut between doors, gas door, etc. Use the heat gun to speed
up the drying time. |
