Truck Wrap Kits
Necessary
Tools: Before Application: 2. For best results use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol as a final wipe
before installation. If there is any stubborn residue on the vehicle you can
use a bug and tar remover but remember to come back and wipe with alcohol as
the final step before installation.
Installation: 4. To ensure that you’ve got the size and placement correct,
try placing Camowraps® against the panel to ensure that it fits just right.
If it doesn’t, this is the time that you can still make some minor changes so
that it fits to your vehicle to the “T”. When you’re absolutely sure that it’s
in place then apply masking tape at top edge to hold in place.
5. From the edge of the tape hinge, take off the back lining
from your Camowraps® and slowly pull it downward applying mild squeegee pressure
over the material slowly and gently. Squeegee the area from center outward,
and left to right continuing downward. Along the way smooth out any wrinkles
and bubbles that are visible.
6. It’s important that you should not attempt to stretch Camowraps®
over areas that are hard to reach, body indentations or tight curves. This may
result in tearing the material accidentally. What you should do is lift Camowraps®
away from the panel and squeegee it firmly into the recessed areas carefully.
7. Once you’re done trimming the material around any obstruction
you can find, use an air release tool or pin to puncture the bubbles gently
and then push all of the air out of the bubbles. Or you can opt to squeegee
toward the puncture.
8. If you have to contend with lots of curves and dents when
installing Camowraps® on your vehicle, use a heat gun or hair dryer and applicator
brush to work out the wrinkles and bunches. Remember to apply low temperature
only. Just heat it slightly while holding the heat source several inches away
from the material and smooth Camowraps® over your vehicle panels.
9. When making relief cuts for contoured edges and curves cut
slits at the edge of the material and overlap them so that one piece covers
the other. The pieces should normally overlap at least ¼ inch to ensure proper
coverage. Press the edges together firmly with your fingers and apply slight
heat.
10. Once you have completed the installation check and see
if there are any air bubbles, wrinkles or areas that need further attention.
If there are, use firm pressure and heat then squeegee or brush out areas until
smooth.
• Low-tack masking tape—for positioning Camowraps® in place
• Felt-tipped squeegee—for applying the graphic
• Hobby knife (OLFA or XACTO knife)—for trimming away excess vinyl
• Air release tool—for removing air bubble
• Rivet brush—for installation over rivets
• Heat gun—for heating the vinyl on complicated applications
1. First of all, you’ll need to wash the whole exterior of your vehicle removing
all loose dirt, grime or road film. Next remove anything that could pose as
an obstruction to you while you’re installing Camowraps®. Mirrors, moldings,
handles, locks, emblems or anything that you’ve stuck to the vehicle can be
removed but not necessary for installation.
3. It is advisable for you to start the installation process at the rear of
the vehicle working forward overlapping each panel.
If you’re satisfied with your work, reinstall all obstructions that you’ve earlier removed.
