Warnings / Cautions / Notes

CAUTION

If protective wax has been applied to the vehicle it must be thoroughly removed before starting this procedure.
The vehicle must be clean, dry and at workshop temperature. Vehicles moved into the workshop from cold or wet conditions should be dried and left to stand for a minimum of 2 hours.

NOTE

The decal is provided with an 'air release' adhesive backing. This is a 'dry install' (no water) product. If installed wet there is the possibility that water molecules can become trapped and cause the adhesive to fail at a later date. Decals that fail due to 'wet' installation will void any warranty claims.

Clean the illustrated surface. Make sure the area is clean and there is no dirt or dust.

Place the decal (B) into position equally aligning the edges of the decal with the edges of the raised hood section.

Using suitable tape, secure the decal in position on 3 sides of the decal over half its width. Inspect the alignment.

Fold the right side of the decal over. Remove and cut the backing paper off on the right side. Work the squeegee from the center out to the edge of the right side. Inspect the alignment.

Fold the left side of the decal over and remove the backing paper on the left side. Work the squeegee from the center out to the edge of the left side.

Remove the decal application tape.

Selecting the correct design for your vehicle, place the decal (C) onto the hood making sure to line up with decal (B).

Using suitable tape, position the decal (C) and secure as illustrated. Fold back the decal and remove one third of the backing paper. Work the squeegee rearward. Inspect the alignment.

Remove the remaining backing paper and work the squeegee forward. Inspect the alignment.

Remove the decal application tape.

This procedure requires the vehicle to stand for a minimum of 24 hours after installation in a dry, temperature controlled environment.
