If you trying to remove old decals or install new, we can help.
Keep in mind that removing decals is no fun. Please be patient and use plenty of elbow grease.
Removing Decals
Step 1
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up a small region of the decal. This will make the decal more pliable and reduce the adhesive bond.
Note: Be careful not to overheat the paint may blister.
Step 2
Starting at a corner, lift the decal away from the bodywork
Step 3
Use both hands as you get to the wider sections of the decal. Go SLOWLY. Too much tension will cause the decal to tear.
Step 4
The heated area will cool off after a few minutes, causing the adhesive bond to increase again. You will notice that the tension will increase and the decal will tend to tear easily.
Step 5
Simply repeat Step 1 and continue. After the decal is removed there may be adhesive residue remaining. Use an adhesive remover to remove residue. We really like the citrus-based adhesive removers like GooGone because they are non-toxic, bio-degradable, and can be readily found at hardware, department, and grocery stores.
Installing Decals
Tools needed:
- - spray bottle, with soapy water
- - rubber squeegee, or credit card will do
- - razor blade or sharp knife
What to do:
- - gently peel it off the paper
- - spray complete sticker with the soapy water
- - place the vinyl side of your sticker in place
- - once you have the vinyl positioned, use squeegee to remove bubbles.
- -Now you should spray the outer side of the transfer tape with soapy water and let it sit for five minutes. This breaks down the glue on the tape and allows you to peel it off, leaving the vinyl adhered to the surface
