1. DEFECT REMOVAL : Remove any dirt nibs or defects in the paint that would result in objectionable read-through defects after
decal is applied.
2. BODY SURFACE: Body surface temperature must be a minimum of 70°F during decal application to ensure conformability and
initial adhesive bond.
3. ALCOHOL WIPE: Wipe the body surface to which the decals will be applied with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with
isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants.
4. DRY WIPE: Wipe the same body surfaces as in step 3 with a clean, dry lint-free cloth to remove remaining haze.
5. DECAL LINER REMOVAL: Lay decal paper liner side up on flat, clean surface. Slowly remove paper liner in a 180°
direction, keeping part as flat as possible. Avoid finger contact with decal adhesive surface. Spray exposed adhesive and the
door surface with the soap & water solution.
6. DECAL POSITIONING: Hold the premask area of the part and position to body using paper premask locators. Refer to the
following illustrations for location and stripe sequence. Do not pre-adhere decal to vehicle with hands. Keep decal as flat as
possible. Do not allow the adhesive surface to become contaminated by touching clothing or floor, etc. If the decal does not
float into position, add one to two more drops of liquid dish soap to the wetting solution. Once decal is in position, spray the
premask with the wetting solution. This will allow the squeegee to glide over the premask easier.
7. SQUEEGEE: Squeegee entire decal with a plastic squeegee. Start at the center and fan out to the edges using firm,
overlapping strokes.
8. Wrap Areas: Any areas that wrap will require the 25% Iso. Alcohol/water solution. Spray the adhesive with this solution. Use
squeegee to pressurize wraps. Use heat gun to ensure proper adhesion.
9. PREMASK REMOVAL: Slowly remove the premask in a 180° direction, (flat to surface). Do not snap it off or remove in a 90°
direction, (perpendicular to the surface). Take extra care in the thin pointed areas. If the decal comes up while removing the
paper premask, there may be too much soap in the wetting solution or the temperature may be below 70°F. Re-squeegee the
entire decal, then wait a few minutes to allow the adhesive of the decal to increase before removing premask.
10. RE-SQUEEGEE: Squeegeeing after premask removal may be necessary in certain areas. Work bubbles out to the nearest
edge or use air release tool or pin and re-squeegee that area to ensure proper adhesion.
11. INSPECTION: Dry off vehicle and inspect for any remaining bubbles.
12. POST APPLICATION: Allow the vehicle to remain 70°F for at least fifteen minutes before taking outside in freezing conditions.
Do not power wash decal area for 72 hours.
