Step By Step Vinyl Installation

1. The temperature should be 55 degrees or higher.
2. Inside is best or outside in the shade with no wind.
3. Wash vehicle, dry and wipe down vinyl areas with Windex.
4. Use the painters tape to position the graphics. It may be helpful to have two people.
5. Measure the graphics using a line on the vehicle. Do not measure from the ground. Most vehicles sit on a slant. You want the graphics to follow the lines of the vehicle.
6. Use a long piece of tape from top to bottom centered on the graphics. Secure the left side with extra tape! Using the hinge method explained in the video pull back the vinyl and start to pull off the release paper. At the halfway point, or the hinge, cut off the release paper. Work the vinyl from left to right. Keep it as straight as possible and use original marking system if needed. The original marking system is generally used on long pieces to assure the vinyl is straight. See in videos above.
7. Once the vinyl is down slowly push down to assure good adhesion.
8. If you are working with vinyl letters you will carefully remove the release paper at this time.

That’s it. Just take your time and stop to watch the videos again if you have questions.
