Machine-cut Decal Application (up to 15" long):
Application is a very simple
process. Before you start, put the decal on a hard
surface and press over the entire face of the decal with
the palm of your hand or the edge of a plastic ruler.
This ensures a good bond between transfer tape and vinyl
film which is needed to properly transfer the image from
the wax paper backing to a new location. Carefully and
slowly peel the transfer tape which will lift off the
vinyl, make sure that no portion of the vinyl graphic is
left on the wax paper backing. Once you have the
transfer tape holding the entire decal image in your
hand, apply it on the desired spot, press well with the
palm of your hand to ensure proper mounting and then
slowly peel back the transfer tape when you keep it as
close as possible to the surface (say 160-180 degrees).
For detailed instructions on application of larger
decals please read below.
Machine-cut Decal Application (15" or longer):
We encourage you to read these
instructions if the decal you're applying is 15" long or
more. For up to 12" decals you don't need to follow all
steps, but it's definitely beneficial to go over the
next few lines. You need masking tape, squeegee (or
rolled-up small towel), measuring tape and scissors.
Before you start, put the decal on a hard surface facing
up and apply pressure over the entire face with a
squeegee, ruler or the palm of your hand - this will
ensure that the transfer tape will lift all the vinyl
letters and/or other graphics properly from the wax
paper. Follow the procedure below:
-
Fix the decal in the exact
position where you want it by placing masking tape
vertically in the middle of the decal. This tape is
called hinge, because it allows each end of the
decal to flip and still holds the middle securely in
position. The transfer paper (semi-transparent
paper) has to face you, other words you have to be
able to see the image the same way that it’s going
to look on the car.
-
Once in place, flip one
side of the decal and carefully and slowly peel the
bottom paper (wax paper), while paying attention
that all letters and graphics are now stuck to the
transfer tape and none are left on the wax paper.
Once you've successfully separated both, cut off the
wax paper near the hinge and throw it aside. Now the
only thing you’re holding is the transfer paper with
the vinyl graphics on it. Starting from the hinge
and working your way out to the end of the decal,
firmly press the transfer film to the car surface,
using squeegee or tightly rolled towel.
-
Remove the masking tape
(hinge) and follow the same procedure for the other
side of the decal. Once the entire decal is in
place, apply extra pressure over the vinyl graphics,
just to make sure they’re stuck nicely to the
surface.
-
Peel the transfer paper
off. CAREFUL: Don’t pull 90 degree of the surface,
instead peel it off close or completely flat to the
surface of the car. If you applied the decal
properly, transfer paper will never have enough
force to lift off the vinyl, but if you didn’t stick
it on right, it may take off part of the vinyl
graphic.
Custom
Emblem Application (for sets of individual letters):
If you purchased such a custom
emblem, a card containing application instructions will
be included in the package. For your convenience we
published these simple instructions here as well. Very
simple 5 step process:
-
Clean and dry the location
where you plan to apply the emblem. Rubbing alcohol
works best and it dries fast.
-
Make straight horizontal
line with masking tape which will help you align the
base of the letters.
-
Take each letter one by one
and gently apply on the car just above the masking
tape (your base line). Attach them very lightly in
case you need to reposition.
-
Make sure to keep an even
space between the letters. Once properly aligned and
spaced, press each letter firmly on its permanent
location.
-
Remove the masking tape
used for alignment.
Prearranged Emblem Application:
There is really not much to
explain when it comes to applying a prearranged emblem.
Process is so simple, we don't even send instructions in
the package. These sets come with letters prearranged
and aligned on wax paper. The clear film over the
letters is designed to hold them together during
transfer. There are 4 simple steps to follow:
-
Clean and dry the location
where you plan to apply the emblem. Rubbing alcohol
works best and it dries fast.
-
Carefully peel the wax
paper backing off the letters, making sure they stay
securely attached to the clear film (transfer tape).
-
Place the letters on the
desired location and press firmly to assure proper
bond between the 3M tape on the back of the letters
and the surface of your car.
-
Remove the clear film
(transfer tape).
