Tips to Apply Car Graphics
Car Graphics or full vehicle wraps DIY is easier than you thought. Clean your vehicle, get the tools ready and follow the instructions below.
• First, wrap the hood. Position the graphic and tape it into place. In this case it will be easiest to start near the center and work your way up; then go back and work down. Keeping the squeegee at a lower angle and taking your time helps you avoid wrinkles.
• Next, you will apply the side panel. Doing one long horizontal panel will help to eliminate seams in your graphic.
• Then, when you reach the wheel well area, trim out the excess material. As you near the front and rear bumpers it is necessary to take additional time and work the film to avoid wrinkles.
• Finally, you should go back and trim the material around the moldings and door panels.
