Preparation
For a successful application, ensure the environment and surface are properly prepared. Give yourself plenty of room to work in.
Surface Cleaning
The vehicle surface must be perfectly clean before installation.
Ensure the target area is:
-
Clean and Dry: Free from moisture.
-
Smooth and Non-Porous to promote good decal adhesion.
-
Contaminant-Free: Completely free of oil, wax, ceramic coatings, grease or any other cleaning residues.
-
For newly painted vehicles, please allow at least 5 weeks for the paint to cure & outgas before applying any graphics

Unpacking
-
Locate the ID number on the transfer tape of each graphic. Match these numbers to the installation instructions.
-
You may notice air bubbles between the graphic and the transfer tape. This is normal and does not affect the final application. Simply use a squeegee to gently push the bubbles toward the nearest edge.

Installation
⚠IMPORTANT - Please read carefully through this entire section before installing any graphics.
Material Layers
To ensure a perfect finish, our graphics are ‘sandwiched’ between two protective layers. The base release liner protects the adhesive until you are ready to apply, while the top transfer tape keeps the cast vinyl stable during installation. Please follow our guide to ensure you are removing the correct layer at the correct stage of the process.
Positioning and Alignment
Our graphics have been designed to take the guesswork out of placement onto the vehicle. We do this by perforation cutting our designs to key datum points featured on the original bodywork. These can be in the form of body creases, shut lines, trim edges or emblems. We also include outer tabs with peelable backings to help with provisional placement. In this section we’ll provide guidance on how to align each graphic with the existing bodywork.
S1 - Wordmark Stripe
-
Loosely place the graphic on the rear bumper/decklid to familiarise yourself with the general placement.
-
Partially remove the release liner backing to reveal the letter "P". Cutaway the removed backing with scissors, and loosely tack the uncovered "P" in place on the wordmark trim. Apply firm pressure when you are satisfied with the position.
-
With the "P" portion of the wordmark in place, remove the remainder of the release liner to expose the remaining letters.
-
Use your right hand to retain tension in the strip, and use your free hand to squeegee the remaining letters in place. Apply one letter at a time and work left to right.
Finishing up
-
Carefully peel and discard of the top transfer tape of all applied graphics. For best results, pull the tape back slowly at a sharp 180° angle (keeping it flat against the hood).
⚠ Troubleshooting - If any part of the graphic starts to lift with the transfer tape, stop, lay it back down, and reapply more pressure with the squeegee.
-
With the transfer tape removed, if you notice any bubbles in the graphic, apply gentle heat and use the the application squeegee to work them out to the closest edge.
-
To ensure a permanent, long-lasting bond, we recommend post-heating the entire graphic. Using a heat gun, evenly heat the surface of the vinyl to 90°C. This process ‘sets’ the adhesive and the vinyl, preventing any lifting or shrinking over time.
