WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO GET STARTED

  • Lint free rag
  • Spray bottle with soap
  • Hair dryer / heat gun
  • Clean bike
  • Clean hands
  • Measuring device

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Clean bike thoroughly with mild soap and water prior to decal application. It is best if you can apply decals on a new frame.

  2. Wash hands before application or wear a pair of nitrile/latex gloves to keep any dirt from sticking to the decal.

  3. Get a spray bottle full of water. Add a drop or two of soap to help the decals slide around if needed.

  4. Working with one decal at a time, spray the appropriate area of the frame and adhesive-side of the decal.

  5. Place decal in the locations provided below, re-placing or sliding decal
    as needed.

  6. Once the decal is in the right spot, use the provided squeegee to start flattening the decal onto the frame. Start in the middle, working along the middle length. Gradually squeeze out the water toward the edges, working thoroughly and patiently to remove ALL water under the decal.

  7. Use a clean cloth or towel to help lay the decal flat and wipe off excess water. At this point, some edges of the decals might not be perfectly flat on the frame.

  8. Using a heat gun or hairdryer on low setting, apply heat to the decal edges for 2-3 seconds at a time. Using a clean rag or squeegee, work on any edges or bumps to lay them flush to the frame. Re-apply heat and repeat as necessary.

  9. When it’s time to remove or replace your protective decals, use a heat gun to warm up adhesive and pull back decal slowly. Do not remove without warming up decal adhesive first. Clean off any residual adhesive with mild soap and water.

NOTE:
Feel free to cut out any custom shapes you might want using the remaining decal scraps. Get creative!
