Instructions for Simple Wedge or Block-shaped Car
Prepare Car and Skin
- Remove any dust or debris from the surface of the car.
- Determine how much material is needed to wrap the car without overlapping the material on the bottom of the car. Trim off the excess.
Apply Skin
- Peel off the backing paper.
- Use a soft, wet sponge to press the skin onto the car body. The transfer paper will release when it is thoroughly soaked. Do not use force to remove the transfer paper.
- Fold the design under the bottom of the car.
- Smooth out wrinkles by dipping your fingers in water and rubbing over the skin.
Finish
- If desired, apply a clear finish. Test compatibility with the finish by applying the finish to a small area first (or on a scrap of wood with a piece of body skin applied).
Instructions for Complex Body Shape
Prepare Car and Skin
- Remove any dust or debris from the surface of the car.
- Trace each side and top of the car onto the skin.
- Cut out the traced patterns, leaving at least 1/8" of extra material for overlap.
Apply Skin
- Peel off the backing paper.
- Use a soft, wet sponge to press the skin onto the car body - first the two sides, then the top. The transfer paper will release when it is thoroughly soaked. Do not use force to remove the transfer paper.
- Fold the design under the bottom of the car.
- Smooth out wrinkles by dipping your fingers in water and rubbing over the skin.
Finish
- Make windshields and windows with the black skin material. Cut out and apply the window material just like the body skin (Caution: The window material is very thin. Handle carefully, and allow the backing material to become thoroughly soaked before attempting to remove the backing material.
- If desired, apply a clear finish. Test compatibility with the finish by applying the finish to a small area first (or on a scrap of wood with a piece of body skin applied).
Alternate Use
- The body skin material can be used to accent a painted car, similar to decals. The skin material can be applied directly to paint or unfinished wood.
