Installation
Instructions
Tools needed: Tape measure, Squeegee, Masking tape
& pin or razor blade.
1. Clean & dry surface COMPLETELY. Make
sure surface is free of dirt, wax, grease etc...
DO NOT apply decal to wet surface.
2. With white paper backing still on, tack decal temporarily in place
with masking tape on each upper corner of where you want to install it. Use
a tape measure to make sure decal is centered & level.
Stand back and check it out. Should be level to the ground. Adjust if needed.
3. Now with the decal held in place. Run masking tape along the top of
the decal with approx half of the tape
on the decal and half on the vehicle surface. This will make a large hinged
'flap'.
For long thin designs, you can cut the decal in half (up and down between
the lettering) once it has been taped
to create two flaps for even easier installation.
4. If the decal is in desired position, flip the graphic up along the
line of masking tape and slowly remove the white paper backing, expose only
half of the decal.
DO NOT allow sticky part of exposed decal to touch surface.
5. With the white paper backing peeled half way, begin to apply the sticky
side of the decal to the vehicle surface with the squeegee. Be sure to use even
strokes horizontally across the decal.
Apply only half the decal. Hold queegee at 45 degree angle.
6. Continue smoothing out the decal with long hoizontal strokes, starting
at the top and working towards the bottom. Continue to remove the white paper
as needed.
Only remove the wax paper backing as needed.
7. Once the entire sticky side of the decal is applied to the vehicle,
go over the decal with the squeegee, with increasingly harder strokes.
8. Slowly begin removing the transfer tape by peeling from one side to
the other. Keep the area yourpeeling flat against the window. Do not pull up,
pull back. Any small bubbles can be removed by poking a tiny hole with a razor
blade or pin and working the air out with your finger.
Most bubbles will disappear within 2-3 weeks of installation due to sunlight.
Note. Your new vinyl decal is now installed! Do not wash surface for
a minimum of 2 days. To keep it looking new, keep it clean. You can apply wax
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.
