 🛠 Installation Guide:

⚠️ Critical Temperature Requirement: For a successful bond, the ideal installation temperature is between 65°F and 73°F. Attempting to install in temperatures any warmer or colder may prevent the vinyl from adhering correctly, which will ruin the decal.

• Dry Install Only: Do not use water or "wet" application methods. These professional-grade materials are designed for dry application only.

• Surface Prep: This is the most important step! Clean the hood thoroughly with a heavy-duty degreaser followed by Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to ensure 100% adhesion. The surface must be completely stripped of all wax and ceramic coatings.

• Pro Tips:

  • Visually inspect all vinyl pieces for any issues before you begin.

  • Check out our Hood Stamp Install Video on YouTube for a step-by-step walkthrough.

  • If you lack experience with large-format vinyl, we recommend visiting a local vinyl shop; they can install our kits quickly and easily.
