NOTE:
Stripes and decals adhere to a painted surface using pressure sensitive adhesive. The use of a wetting solution aids the technician in lifting and positioning the stripe or decal during installation. A wetting solution also ensures a better bond between stripe or decal and panel. Stripe or decal replacement involving collision damage, or damage to underlying painted surface, requires that metal repair and/or refinish operations be completed before the stripe or decal is installed. Freshly painted surfaces must be allowed to dry thoroughly before installing stripe or decal. Residual solvents in fresh painted surfaces can lead to subsequent blistering problems if stripe or decal is applied before complete release of solvents. The striping material highlights vehicle surface imperfection. All dings, rough metal, paint defects and uneven two-tone paint breaklines must be repaired.
- Body surfaces and decals must be maintained between 21 to 38°C (70 to 100°F) during installation.
- Never apply decals when body surface and decal temperatures are below 21°C (70°F).
- Stripes and decals may be applied dry. If this does not result in a consistent bubble free application, the "wet" method must be used as in the case of large graphics packages.
- Stripes or decals that are applied on flexible surfaces (fascias, etc.) must be applied using the WET method. This will reduce the formation of bubbles under the decal due to the outgassing potential of the flexible materials.
