Surface Preparation - Graphics Installing vinyl pinstriping

The vehicle surface must be properly prepared prior to installation of the graphics.  All surfaces must be cleaned prior to any application of automotive vinyl graphic supply products.  See the following steps:

•  For best results, the application should be made in temperatures ranging from 50  to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  Do not install graphics outdoors if winds exceed 10 mph.  Blown dirt, dust or other contaminates ca interfere with the bonding of the graphic adhesive to the vehicle during installation.
• Wash the vehicle surface with detergent and water, the thoroughly rinse the surface with water and dry completely.  WARNING:  Don not use any aromatic solvents such as acetone, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, gasoline or ammonia based cleaners to clean the vehicle surface.
• Saturate a clean cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe the surface of the vehicle where the graphic is to be applied to remove any contaminates such as silicone, wax, or adhesives.
• Dry the surface with a lint free paper towel.
