IMPORTANT– DO NOT APPLY GRAPHICS IF THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F or ABOVE 100°F. PLEASE TAPE ALL DECALS IN PLACE PER THE ATTACHED LAYOUT BEFORE APPLYING.

Prep the Surface

Clean the surface the decal will be applied to. For vehicles, wipe down the surface with rubbing alcohol and wipe dry with paper towels.

Decal Alignment

If a layout is provided, align the decal using those specifications. If not, measure the surface to determine the proper placement for the decal.

Create the Hinge

After decal is positioned, secure it to the surface with masking tape through the middle of the decal, either top to bottom or side to side. This will be your hinge.

Remove the Liner

Carefully peel back the bottom layer of paper (the liner), leaving the decal stuck to the top layer (the premask), all the way to the hinge. Cut away the liner at the hinge.

Apply the Decal

While holding the loose end of the decal away from the surface, use a squeegee to slowly lower the decal to the surface. ALWAYS start in the middle and work outwards.

Remove the Premask

After all air bubbles have been smoothed out, start at one corner and slowly pull the top layer away. Use slow and even pressure and pull the paper back over onto itself.

Finishing

After the premask has been removed, take a soft cloth and carefully go over decal, using slight pressure. This will reapply any edges you may have pulled up when removing the top paper.
