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 />

The application tape used to hold the vinyl<br />

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

peeled off.<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.
