1. Prepare a solution of 2-3 drops of dish soap or baby shampoo and fill the bottle
with water. Shake to mix. NOTE: You must work with very clean hands.
2. Begin by preparing the entire door and partial fender area by first washing with
soap and water. Then using a wax and silicone remover. These cleaning agents
can be found at your local auto parts store, look for 3M wax and silicone
remover or a spray can of bug and tar remover. Either one of these will work
well.
3. Once surface area has been treated wipe off any remaining residue with a clean
lint free cloth or Bounty paper towel.
4. Your Camaro Graphic has been precut to fit into position perfectly and will
require only minor trimming. For this application we are going to use the body of
the car as a springboard to flip the graphic panel into position. First you must
clean the non-adhesive side of your graphic by misting your water solution onto
your cloth or paper towel then wiping the graphic free of any dirt or dust
particles.
5. Spray and saturate the entire side of your car with your soap and water solution.
NOTE: You will know if you have an adequate solution by looking to see if the
solution sheets and does not bead. If beading occurs add another drop of soap to
your solution and spray again.
6. Once the entire car is saturated place the clean graphic print side to the car and
paper side facing you so that the car and water hold the graphic above your
placement area and quickly remove the paper liner from one side to the other as
you spray and saturate just the adhesive. Be careful not to get the paper to wet
as it has a tendency to separate and stick to the graphic. If this happens finish
removing liner and spray your water solution to the parts that have stuck to
rinse them away.
7. Grab hold of the graphic at the far left and right bottom edge and flip it print side
out facing you and slide into position. It will fit just center of the vent opening
overlapping its edge slightly and just about 1/16” from the far edge of the door.
If your graphic seams to get stuck simply lift and spray more solution so that it is
wet and slippery enough to allow you to slide it into position. Once you are
satisfied with its position set the graphic using the squeegee (provided) by sliding
the squeegee from left to right at the very center of the graphic, down the entire
length of the graphic. Then from the center upwards and downwards until all the
water solution has been squeezed out. Making sure not to leave any water or air
pockets as you go. If an air or water pocket does become trapped you can
release it by poking a pinhole with your snap knife and pressing the bubbles flat
towards the hole.
8. Once you have successfully completed mounting your new graphic trim off the
excess graphic from the vent edge and door gap by sliding your sharp snap knife
down the edge of the car being careful not to mar the paint.
