hey fellas..I ordered a pro circuit graphic kit for my banshee and had a few questions..I just dropped the seat cover and stock pan/foam off at the upholstry guy's shop..I want the graphics to be perfect..Nothing iritates me more than putting a sticker on to find a air bubble or crease(sp) that you can't get rid of..Most of the time they go on just fine but there is that occasional stubbern one that gets out of control..So does anybody have any tips to making sure the graphics go on well?? Tip's/advice is greatly appreciated

 

put petrol or as you americans call gas(unleaded) on your plastics and let it dry before putting graphics on make sure plastics are spotless and dry

 

i would rub with alcohol first let it dry just make sure its clean depending on the decal you can usually wet the surface with water aply your sticker this will allow you to move it where you need it then when you get it where you want it run a squegee across it to get the water out if you cant use water tape it on each end then one in the middle fold one side peel the 1 half then apply slowly with a squegee going up and down to get it laid out smooth then do the same thing on the other half if you get an air pocket just get a pin pop it and rub smooth

 

To clearify, the alcohol is to be used on the surface that the graphic is to be applied, and NOT the graphic. I wouldn't recomend gasoline, because gas can leave a slight residue.

When you wet the surface, ues soapy water (dish washing soap, but not too much), followed with a SOFT squeege. This works extremely well. Other than that, see above.

 

Thanks alot for the info guy's..I went and got everything i will need last night..I got a window tint squeegie so maybe that will work out well...I did a search but didn't really come up with to much..I plan on doing it today so i will post up a few pics when it's all done..

 

At the shop I wrenched at in CA I did quite a few graphics kits. The easiest way I found to do it and make it look good was to first clean the plastic with a "sensitive surface cleaner". Then I would put plain water in a spray bottle, spray the plastic and the decal. Put the decal on the plastic and get it where you want it. Take a heat gun and smooth it out. Sometimes the edges of the decals don't want to bend where the plastic does and the heat gun takes care of that.

 

Yeah i used a hair dryer to get the graphics to fold at some of the creases(sp) ..It turned out great..There is not a bubble anywhere..Made the banshee look ton's better..Thanks for all the advice guy's..
