Stripe Kit Installation Instructions
1- Make sure the car is clean. Make sure you are not doing this in a windy area. If your car was recently waxed, you may need to “kill” the wax before installing your stripes. You can do this by wiping the area where you are going to be installing the stripes with rubbing alcohol.
2 - Get a spray bottle & fill it with water, 6-10 drops of dishwashing liquid, and about a capful of rubbing alcohol.
3 - You should layout the entire side of the car first using masking tape or magnets to hold the stripes in place. Take a few steps back and make sure everything is lined up.
4 - Starting with the door, lay the stripe out flat and gently peel away the backing paper (this is the heavy wax coated paper that is on the adhesive side). Spray the back of the stripe with your soapy water solution and then spray the body panel as well.
5 - Place the stripe on the body panel. The soapy water allows you to move it around until you get it in the right spot. It also helps you work out any bubbles in the material.
6- Starting in the middle, gently press down on the stripe using a squeegee (I think I put one in the box for you - if I didn't a fresh bondo spreader works well too). If the stripe moves as you are pressing down, gently lift it up and re-spray (be careful though - the smaller stripes tend to stretch when you do this)
7- Work as much of the moisture out as you can. Now WAIT and move on before you try peeling off the transfer tape
8- Go to the next body panel and repeat this procedure

9- You should wait at least an hour before trying to remove the transfer tape. It will take longer if it is cold. If you want to speed it up a little, you can use a heat gun on its lowest setting. When you have removed the transfer tape, gently wrap the excess into the door jambs. If they are stubborn and do not want to stick, use the heat gun (again at lowest setting).
