GRAPHICS ON THE HOOD OF VEHICLE
Prepare the Vehicle Surface:
Clean the vehicle hood thoroughly using a mild soapy water solution and a clean, lint free cloth. Rinse the surface with clean water and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
Positioning the Graphics:
Place the vehicle graphics on the hood without removing the backing paper. Use low-tack painter's tape to temporarily secure the graphics in the desired position. Ensure proper alignment and spacing.
Wet Application:
Mix a mild soapy water solution in a spray bottle. Lightly mist the vehicle hood with the soapy water solution. Peel off a small section of the backing paper from the graphics, exposing the adhesive side.
Apply Graphics:
Align the exposed section of the graphics with the desired position on the hood. Use a squeegee or a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth to smooth out the graphics from the center to the edges. This helps remove air bubbles and excess water.
Continue Application:
Gradually peel off the backing paper, applying the graphics and smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go. If needed, use additional soapy water to facilitate smooth application.
Wait 2-3 Hours:
Allow the applied graphics to set and adhere to the vehicle surface for 2-3 hours. This time is crucial for a secure bond between the graphics and the vehicle.
Remove Application Tape:
Once the graphics are fully applied, gently peel off the application tape at a 45-degree angle. This should be done slowly and carefully to avoid lifting the graphics.
Final Inspection:
Inspect the installed graphics for any imperfections or edges that may need additional attention. If necessary, use a squeegee or your fingers to smooth out any remaining air bubbles.
Allow Full Cure Time:
For optimal adhesion and longevity, avoid washing or exposing the vehicle to extreme conditions for at least 2-4 days after installation.
