Dirt Bike Graphics Application Guide Preparation is Key Take your time — installation is critical for a clean, lasting finish. Tools needed: heat gun or hair dryer, Cleaner, 70%+ isopropyl alcohol, clean rags. Step 1: Remove Old Stickers Strip off all previous stickers and glue residue. Use heat if necessary to loosen stubborn adhesive. Step 2: Clean Surfaces Wipe plastics thoroughly with suspension cleaner. For new plastics, remove factory oils with a stronger cleaner before alcohol — this step is critical. Step 3: Prime with Isopropyl Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol. Let dry completely (1–2 hours, up to 4 hours in cold conditions). Ensure no shimmer of oils or residue remains. Applying the Graphics Step 4: Align Stickers With backing on, line up the sticker. Peel one corner (Point A), press gently, then peel opposite corner (Point B). Adjust as needed — stickers can be repositioned. Step 5: Smooth from Center Run a finger between Point A & B. Smooth outward slowly to remove ridges. Step 6: Re‑Adjust if Needed Peel and reposition before applying heat. Avoid water or soap — it weakens adhesive. Step 7: Apply Pressure Use a clean rag to press from center outward. Shape sticker to plastic and smooth bumps. Step 8: Use Heat Warm gently with a hair dryer or heat gun. Makes material pliable for curves and edges. Do not overstretch holographic or chrome kits — they may lift. Final Steps Step 9: Cure Time Wait 3–4 days before riding or washing. This ensures glue bonds properly. Minor edge lifting is normal due to temperature or humidity. Step 10: Seal with Heat Reheat entire kit, pressing down edges. Activates glue for maximum adhesion. Pro Tips Start with simple pieces before tackling complex shapes. Trim excess if needed — better too much than too little. Avoid rushing — “Look Good, Go Slow.”
