Jeep YJ Flame Set Application Instructions Caution: Be careful of the chrome or “metal”
based vinyl material to not bend the decals too far and crease them. On
Chrome use a “light” amount of application fluid and do not slide the decal
around. The glue can wash off and render the decal tack-less. |

Application Instructions 1. Use one of the cleaning
solutions list on the left to clean the surface of the hood, removing any
elements that might prevent the vinyl from adhering properly. This will also
remove any bug or tar chunks that might get trapped under the decal. 2. With a tape measure, mark the
center of your hood from each hood hinge. Then run your tape measure down the
hood aligning it with the center of the grill and mark the center. Apply the decal in the order you see
numbered above. 3. Place the #1 Decal on the center hood and
tape the edges of only one side in place so it can not move. 4. Lift up the free half of the decal from the
hood and cut half of the backing off with scissors. Mist the surface with application fluid and
apply that half to the hood. Lift up the remaining side and do the same. Use
a squeegee to remove any air or fluid under the lettering and peel off the
top transfer tape. If
applying chrome decals, spray only a “very light” mist of fluid. Don’t
be to anxious to pull the top transfer tape off. If it appears not to stick then let it sit until
some of the water evaporates and it will become tacky again. Also, be sure to
not scratch the mirror finish during the squeegee process. Try using the palm
of your hand or a roller squeegee. Repeat on #2 decal. On decal #3 and #4, remove
your hood latches completely to avoid any problems. Tape the decals down
to fit them both evenly around the hood. This way will make sure you put #3
in the correct spot. Repeat on #6 and #7 decals. 5.
On decals #7 and #8 use the
same method. Align them by using the seam in the fender. 6.
Dry the hood off. Lightly
warm them with a hair dryer or heat gun to help adhere
them if applying them in cold weather. Apply some wax to the surface and
surrounding areas to help seal in the decal. |
