INSTRUCTIONS <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>APPLY</strong>ING <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>SALE</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong><br />
Congratulations on your purchase of a simple and inexpensive way<br />
to advertise your car for sale 24 hours a day / 7 days a week!<br />
These instructions can be used to apply your <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>SALE</strong> graphics to<br />
the outside window of your car.<br />
Important to consider before installation commences: -<br />
The surface MUST be clean and dust free with no wax or other<br />
contaminates.<br />
Do not apply to fresh paint or car repairs. Paint will need to cure<br />
for at least 3 weeks before graphics can be applied.<br />
Your Vinyl Lettering /Graphic arrives to you in one piece with<br />
three layers.<br />
APPLICATION TAPE<br />

in place. It will be the last layer to be<br />
peeled off.<br />

(already weeded out Ready To Apply)<br />

STEPS IN <strong>APPLY</strong>ING <strong>FOR</strong> <strong>SALE</strong> <strong>GRAPHICS</strong><br />
Place the Ready To Apply graphics against the<br />
substrate and stick with small piece your<br />
masking tape on either end to temporarily hold<br />
it in place while you measure to get the graphic<br />
straight<br />
Using a piece of masking tape, place it in the<br />
middle of the graphic to create a vertical centre<br />
hinge.<br />
Remove the small piece of masking tape on the<br />
right hand side. Flip the graphics back towards<br />
the centre and slowly peel the backing paper off<br />
as close to the centre tape hinge as possible<br />
while holding the top layer away from the<br />
surface. using your scissors cut the backing layer<br />
off close to the centre hinge.<br />
While STILL holding the top layers away from<br />
the substrate - use your squeegee and start<br />
applying pressure to the graphic from left to<br />
right slowly pushing the top layer onto the<br />
substrate.<br />
Now remove the centre hinge masking tape,<br />
and flip back the graphic and remove the<br />
backing completely.<br />
Use your squeegee and apply pressure from<br />
right to left slowly. Apply even horizontal<br />
pressure with the squeegee across the whole<br />
graphic to ensure that the adhesive has been<br />
activated.<br />
Once you are sure the graphic is attached,<br />
remove the top layer or application tape layer<br />
diagonally at a 180° angle back over itself (from<br />
top right corner pull down to the left) being<br />
careful NOT to lift any vinyl graphics off the<br />
substrate. If vinyl starts to come away simply lay<br />
the top layer back over the vinyl and press down<br />
hard with the squeegee to stick it back to the<br />
glass, and continue to remove the application<br />
top layer. Now look at the 8888 888 888, and<br />
remove the pieces from the graphic to reveal<br />
your phone number. Removal involves “picking”<br />
the edge of the piece that needs to be removed.
