Applying a Vehicle Decal

In the spirit of trans­parency, we wish to inform you this video is not a real-time actual TKO Graphix instal­la­tion. It’s a reen­act­ment. More impor­tantly, the video is a simple walk through of how to apply a decal. We hope you find it infor­ma­tive and helpful.

How to apply a vehicle decal

  1. 1. Clean the area — In most cases, isotope alcohol is a suf­fi­cient cleaning agent. Always use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and be sure the area is com­pletely dry before applying the decal.
  2. 2. Measure where the decal is to be applied, and make target marks with a soft pencil.
  3. 3. Position the decal on the marks – be certain the decal is hitting the marks and is level.
  4. 4. Remove the backer. This puts the adhesive next to the vehicle. Keep one side attached to hold the decal in place.
  5. 5. Apply the decal with a squeegee, beginning in the middle and working out.
  6. 6. Remove the pro­tec­tive pre-mask beginning in one corner, and pulling steadily at a 180-degree angle.

You have now installed a decal on your vehicle. If you’d like a quote on decals or instal­la­tion by one of our certified pro­fes­sion­als, contact us at 888–544-8051 or request a quote.
