How to Install Your Motorcycle Decals
Welcome to our guide on how to install your motorcycle decals like a pro!
Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth and flawless application of your decals.
What You’ll Need:
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items:
- Revwrap! Motorcycle decals
- Clean cloth or sponge
- Mild soap and water solution
- Squeegee or credit card
- Hairdryer or heat gun (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
Start by cleaning the surface of your motorcycle where you’ll be applying the decals. Use a mild soap and water solution to remove any dirt, grease, or wax. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Position Your Decals
Carefully position your decals on the motorcycle surface using masking tape or a temporary adhesive. This step allows you to visualize the placement and make any adjustments before the final application.
Step 3: Peel and Apply
Once you’re satisfied with the positioning, peel off the backing paper from the decal, exposing the adhesive side. Be cautious not to touch the adhesive with your fingers to prevent oil and dirt transfer.
Step 4: Smooth Out Air Bubbles
Using a squeegee or credit card, starting from the center and moving outwards, smooth out the decal onto the surface of your motorcycle. This helps eliminate any air bubbles trapped underneath the decal for a seamless finish.
Step 5: Apply Heat (Optional)
If you encounter any stubborn air bubbles or wrinkles, you can use a hairdryer or heat gun on a low setting to soften the vinyl. Be cautious not to overheat the decal, as excessive heat can damage both the decal and the motorcycle surface.
Step 6: Final Touches
Once the decal is applied, give it a final once-over to ensure it’s securely adhered to the surface. If needed, use a clean cloth to gently press down any edges or corners that may be lifting.
Step 7: Let It Set
Allow the decal to set and cure for at least 24 hours before exposing it to any harsh conditions such as rain or extreme temperatures. This ensures maximum adhesion and longevity of your motorcycle decals.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed your motorcycle decals. Now, step back and admire the custom look you’ve added to your ride.
