The procedure of “stickers” of the vinyl film on the case of the car is one of the simplest styling operations. A specialist from the vinyl application salon will make this work faster, but more expensive. An intelligent motorist who has minimal manual labor skills will spend more time on this procedure, but save on paying for the efforts of a professional. It is for this audience that our tips are intended to study the theory of the “stickers” process of vinyl film.
Before starting the procedure for pasting the car, you need to understand the following nuances:
The vinyl application (sticker) consists of three layers: substrates, vinyl and mounting film. Before starting work, it is not necessary to violate the integrity of vinyl application – try to separate the mounting layer or substrate. Believe me – there is nothing interesting there.
The tools must be prepared best before the start of work, therefore, it is necessary to collect the following set in an accessible place: clean rags (rags), a hairdryer (construction or household – no difference), fine dispersal sprayer (sprayer for flowers), a spatula and a clerical knife.
The procedure itself is best performed or in a warm garage. Of course, the vinyl film can be glued on the street, but in this case you need to choose a warm (temperature of at least 10 s) and a sunny day, which is so sorry to spend on the garage in the garage.
If preliminary conditions are clear to you, let’s move on to the direct implementation of our work. To do this, it is necessary to sequentially perform the following:
Wash thoroughly and dry that part of the body of your car, which will soon decorate the original vinyl application. Remember that in our case, just washing the “dust dust” is not enough, it is necessary to treat the selected surface with an active solvent that can remove fat and road chemistry from the place of pasting. An excellent choice in this situation will be the “White Spit”-a fairly common solvent that can be bought in any department of construction or automobile chemistry.
Perform pre -fitting vinyl application. Determine the most successful option and apply markers to the body of the car and the mounting layer of the vinyl film. This will facilitate and accelerate the process of “stickers” vinyl. You do not have to waste time trying to place a drying and sticky sticker on the car body – just combine markers and everything is ready!
Separate the lower layer – the substrate, and moisten the naked surface with a soap solution (from the sprayer). As a soap solution, you can use a mixture of water and liquid soap (or shampoo, or washing powder, or shower gel, and so on). Moisten the selected part of the car body with the same solution. The main goal of this action is the appearance of the ability to “move” a film that has adapted to the car, so do not overdo it with a soap solution – the paper part of the film should not suffer.
Get a complete coincidence of markers on the case and the mounting layer of the film. Proceed to leveling the surface, squeezing out excess air from under the film. The main working tool of this stage of laying is a spatula.
After removing the “bubbles” and bloating from under the film, continue to smooth the surface, “rolling” the film to the car body. Combine these actions with the procedure for “drying” the film – processing the outer surface with hot air from the hair dryer. The main tools at this stage are a hair dryer and a spatula. Try to work carefully, starting to “dry” the film from the center of application to the edges. Repeat the process until the film is completely dry.
Pause for a quarter of an hour. Then remove the mounting layer of the film. Process the surface with a hairdryer and spatula again. If the air bubbles remain, then just pierce this part of the film with a thin needle and “pass” on the surface with a hairdryer.
That’s all. It remains only to wait a day and you can demonstrate your efforts to all others.
