Applying Decals - Graphic Kits

Tools Required: Sharp X-acto knife or utility knife, squeegee, spray bottle, a heat gun or hair dryer, and a helping hand (not required but it will help).

Fill your spray bottle with water (preferably distilled) and add a few drops of dish soap. (do not use too much soap)

Clean the surface of the vehicle where the graphics will be placed. Alcohol works great. The cleaner the better.

Pre-fit the graphics to know how it will fit and where you want to place it. You can mark where the graphic will go with tape or a grease pencil to aid in proper placement of the graphic.

Using the soapy water solution thoroughly wet down the area of the vehicle that the graphic will be applied.

Peel the backing paper off the graphic as you spray the sticky side of the graphic.

Place the graphic on the vehicle making sure that there is still plenty of the soapy water solution on the vehicle and the graphic.

Squeegee the water out by using strokes from the center to the outside of the graphic. Take your time and do a thorough job. Time taken here will show in the end.

After a few minutes spray the transfer tape with the soapy water solution and use the squeegee to carefully rub it into the tape.

Starting in on corner begin to slowly remove the tape at a sharp angle. Use caution to keep from pulling up the graphic.

Now take the time to squeegee out and more bubbles. Trim all the seems such as window moldings, door edges, fenderwell openings, etc. You can use the hair dryer or heat gun to help tuck the edges and work out any bubbles. This will also help cure the graphic but care must be taken not to use excessive heat. This could distort the graphic. Any remaining bubbles can be popped with a pin or X-acto knives
NOTE: Heat from a hair dryer or heat gun can help to slightly stretch the vinyl on compound curves or surface irregularities.

For best cure, leave the vehicle indoors for 24 hours and refrain from washing or waxing and driving in any harsh weather.

NOTE: It maybe necessary to check edges for adhesion for the first day or two. Use a hair dryer or heat gun as necessary and rub down the edges with your finger as you heat it.
