R&G second skin fitting instructions for suzuki gsx-8s 2023-
This R&G Second Skin Stone Chip Protection kit is for the Suzuki GSX-8S 2023- Please read the fitting instructions below, to ensure maximum satisfaction from your purchase. To ensure a perfectly clear appearance, the surface where the film will be applied needs to be perfectly clean and free from tar, grease and other contaminants.l
- Step 1: Clean the surface to be applied to thoroughly, using the enclosed isopropyl wipe or degreaser, do not use products such as methylated spirits, lighter fuel or white spirits as these leave behind a greasy residue that will affect the ability of the adhesive to bond to the surface to be protected.
- Step 2: Use the enclosed diagram to identify the parts to be fitted.
- Step 3: Fill the spray bottle with water, the spray bottle contains a small amount of concentrated lubricant that when mixed with water will produce a fitting solution. Once the surface has been cleaned and all contaminate removed, spray the fitting solution onto the area of paintwork to be protected. At the same time, generously spray the adhesive face of the part to be fitted with the fitting solution. This will significantly ease positioning of the protection film and float into position. Avoid touching the adhesive when dry, as this will leave a fingerprint in the film. If you don’t wear gloves, wet your fingers to avoid fingerprints.
- Step 4: Once the film is correctly positioned, start applying the film, working with half of the film at a time, using a squeegee to expel 100% of air and Iiquid from the centre towards the edges. Also spray the top face of film to allow the squeegee to slide smoothly and avoid scratching the film. For curved surfaces, pull gently in the direction required and you will find that the film will naturally take to the curvature of the panel. Continue to push out all the remaining water or air bubbles from under the film ensuring the squeegee sildes smoothly from the middle area of the film to the outside edges. This will produce a perfectly clear look. If the film needs to be repositioned during the application process, remove it partially and respray some liquid on both the surface being protected and the adhesive side of the film. If any creases appear in the film work out towards an edge using either the squeegee or your thumb to gently spread the film.
- Step 5: Dry off any excess fluid with a paper towel and finally, use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the film to ensure a strong and long lasting bond. Do not exceed 80°C.
Application Temperature – R&G Second Skin should not be applied at a temperature below 13°C. The surface to be protected should be conditioned to a temperature of between 13°C and 25°C. Application in direct sunlight or windy conditions should be avoided. On a freshly painted surface, R&G Second Skin should not be applied before the paint is completely cured. Applying a protective film to a paint that is not fully cured may result in a poor visible aspect (bubbling due to paint outgassing). Please consult your paint manufacturer’s instructions regarding the curing process.
