Applying a car sticker is a great way to customize your vehicle and give it a personal touch. Following the correct steps will help you achieve a clean and professional result.
Required Materials
- Your SevStickers car sticker
- A clean, dry cloth
- Water and mild liquid detergent for cleaning the surface
- A suitable plastic card or application squeegee
Step 1: Clean and Dry the Surface
Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry before applying the sticker. Remove dirt, grease, wax and any other residue. Allow the surface to dry completely.
Step 2: Measure and Position the Sticker
Carefully measure the area where you want to place the sticker. Position it before removing the backing paper and check that it is straight and correctly aligned.
Step 3: Prepare the Sticker
SevStickers designs supplied with transfer film have a protective backing layer and a transfer layer. Carefully peel the backing paper away, making sure the sticker remains attached to the transfer film.
Step 4: Apply the Sticker
Position the sticker on the desired surface. Once you are happy with its position, press it firmly using a plastic card or suitable squeegee. Work carefully along the entire design to help the adhesive make good contact with the surface.
Step 5: Remove the Transfer Film
Slowly peel away the transfer film at a low angle. If any part of the sticker starts lifting, put the film back down and press that area again before continuing.
Important Tips
- Do not apply stickers to dirty, wet or waxed surfaces.
- Avoid applying stickers in extreme temperatures.
- Take your time when positioning and removing the transfer film.
- Follow any additional instructions supplied with your product.
