HOW TO APPLY TRANSFERS

If any parts of the bodywork are removed:
WARNING
If any parts of the bodywork are removed, take
care not to score or damage plastic and painted
parts when handling them.
Proceed with caution.
Take care not to damage the catches and/or their
seats.
To apply transfers, carefully follow the instructions
provided below.
We recommend using the following tools:
A spatula (1) of medium rigidity.
IMPORTANT
Supple spatulas (glass wipers) are
generally incapable of completely removing the water
from underneath the transfer.
A sponge or a spray bottle (2) filled with water.
IMPORTANT
Add a little detergent (1-3%) to the
water and shake to produce a lather.
To apply the transfers, follow these steps:
Place transfer (3) upside down on a worktable.
While keeping the transfer spread out on the
worktable, completely remove protective sheet (4).
IMPORTANT
We recommend using a spray bottle
(2).
If a sponge is used, sponge down the surface without
pressing so as to avoid damaging the adhesive.
Wet the surface of the adhesive with soapy water.
Apply transfer (3) over the surface to be decorated
and move it into position.
IMPORTANT
Always use the spatula from the
centre towards the edges of the transfer, with con-
tinual strokes.
Using spatula (1), apply a light pressure over the
surface of the transfer to remove the excess soapy
water from underneath.
IMPORTANT
Never lift the corners and/or sides of
the transfer.
Using an absorbing cloth, wipe the transfer from the
centre to the edges.
Use the spatula again all over the transfer, with firm
and even strokes and pressing as much as possible.
Move the spatula from the centre to the edges of the
transfer. Pay special attention to the edges and
corners so as to ensure uniform sticking of the trans-
fer all over the surface.
