FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: These tips are only guidelines, we do encourage to have your custom motocross graphics fitted by us, however if you have any concerns or worries, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and share some tips. If you make a mistake fitting your graphics, we are not liable for them. Always clean all plastics/surfaces new or used with a clean clean cotton with preferably prep sol or methylated spirits to remove all residues.
HOW TO VIDEO
Step 1
Clean all plastics/surfaces with a clean cotton rag to remove all residues (using isopropyl or methylated spirits) . Make sure your hands work space are clean and oil free. If your decals do have a fold, gently way some light heat over the area on a flat bench and the decal will conform back to being flat.
Step 2
- Start with a few small pieces, give yourself a feel on how our decals work. For larger decals, peel off backing paper from decal
- Cut out and remove a 25mm strip down centre of backing paper
- Replace backing paper onto decal, ensuring correct alignment of edges. This allows for positioning of decals with reduced adhesion area
Step 3
- Position graphic over plastics piece. Once positioned, apply pressure over exposed adhesive strip. This will allow you to work in two halves of the decal
- Remove remaining backing paper
- Apply the rest of the decal, working from the centre outwards * If you do wish to pull the decal back off. Quickly snap the decal back instead of pulling back slowly, this will help preserve the adhesive lining, you can always peel back the decal to release the trapped air *
Step 4
Where required, use a heat gun to warm materials, allowing the graphics to mould around more curved panels. Heat will make the graphics what we call buttery, allows you to manipulate the decal
Step 5
Once applied, its a MUST to heat all edges of graphics (especially in cooler times) and FIRMLY press edges ensure all edges are sealed down properly. A sharp razor blade may be required to trim any excess edges for perfect fitment or a bubble you may
have missed when applying.
If you do wish to remove decals later on, always best to try and snap them off the plastics to prevent glue left on the plastic. A wax & grease remover solution will help remove any glue left behind then followed by isopropyl or methylated spirits
if you are applying new decals to the existing plastics.
