Materials Needed:
Measuring tape, cutter, rag or toilet paper, masking tape or painter, alcohol for cleaning, squeegee aplicator and a bottle of water (1 litre) to which we will add neutral soap (pH neutral shower gel is perfectly valid).


Step 1: Cleaning
Clean the surface thoroughly. Use the rag insistently as well as some glass cleaner or alcohol fuel, in order to eliminate all traces of impurities and fat from the surface.


Step 2: Positioning
Place the sticker in the desired location with adhesive tape to the role and support to the surface without removing the silicone paper that serves as a basis for the sticker.


Step 3: Positioning 2
Separate the whole sticker of the vehicle, leaving marks on the vehicle as a reference for subsequent placement in the same place where you placed itin the first place.


Step 4: Positioning 3
Here you can see the marks that serve as a reference for placing the sticker in the way in which you thought in the first place. You only have to make these marks coincide with those of the sticker.


Step 5: Moistening
Now you have to wet the surface with soapy water, in order to place the large sticker easier and to avoid that the adhesive grips in a place that is not exactly the desired one.



Step 6: Separating
Separate the sticker along with the role of paper with silicone carrier which serves as a basis.

 


Step 7: Separating 2
Now you have the sticker separated and ready for placement. Always on the wet surface of the body. If this moisture is not enough, you can also soak the adhesive side of the sticker.



Step 8: Placement 1
Place the sticker matching the marks prepared at the beginning of the process. It is at this point when, helped by the soapy water, you can move the sticker to adjust its position to marks.

 


Step 9: Placement 2
Once we have the desired position, we must tighten the sticker while we remove the water and the bubbles produced. We do this with the help of the squeegee aplicator, making it slide on the sticker from the center outward applying a slight pressure.We repeat this until we see that nearly all the bubbles have been removed.


Step 10: Placement 3
We leave the moisture remained to dry for approximately one hour. Then we proceed to take off the paper carrier, this must be done with care not to lift the sticker, you can use the squeegee for this. It is normal that the adherence of the sticker be still far from what is desirable because the total drying can take up to two days.

 

 


Step 11: Placement 4
Once the role conveyor is off we proceed to finish placing the tips that have taken off. Now is the time to try to remove the bubbles. If the bubbles are small our advice is that you leave them, as they disappear in a few days. If these are very bulky, click them with the tip of the cutter.

 


Step 12: Finishing
Finally, you only have to finish the tinkering; with the cutter and the squeegee aplicator you won't have any problem to leave the boards of the doors, door handles, moldings, and so on just perfect.

 


Step 13: Result
Once you finished you can see the result.
Now you only have to wait to dry well and be able to enjoy the sticker without danger of the takeoff.


Some tips:

- For best results, the surface must be between 15 and 25 degrees centigrade. It should not exceed under any circumstances the 60 degrees centigrade.

- Take your time. This is a delicate operation and you must do it with a lot of patience and time.

- If the sticker is large (especially if it exceeds the one meter and a half) you will need an assistant.

- Be careful when taking off the sticker of its basic role that it doesn't stick to other sticky parts, if this happens it will most likely that you will have to throw away the sticker.

- Finally don't wash your car with pressure hoses two or three days after their placement.
