Custom Race Stickers - Circle

Sometimes, installing your first sticker maybe daunting, but with our MRN products, and some helpful tricks to boost your confidence - you'll be fitting up the entire scrutineering line with decals.

Did you know!

You may get given a decal with application tape. Referred as app tape, it's typically used to keep separated vinyl together. For example, a Drivers' Name. Other decals may not require the app tape.

Some tips! 

Placement. This one is up for debate, but rule of thumb is:

• Race numbers - located upper most front section of the front doors. For aesthetics, angle the number panel along the natural lines of the car. Works for most other graphics too!
• Windscreen banners, measuring from the centre point of windshield, the total height is around 120mm +/- (street car) to 240mm +/- (race car). Use masking tape to hold into position, then inspect from afar back and also in the cockpit, adjust height accordingly.

Tools needed. 

• You'd preferably want a squeegee, extra points if it's felt tip. At last resort, use a credit card wrapped in a microfibre cloth
• Scissors, or preferably a 30-degree safety knife (make sure it's new and sharp).
• Masking tape, or magnets
• Surface cleaner, either Isopropyl Alcohol or Avery Surface Cleaner. Don't use Glass Cleaner.

Cleaning the surface. Don't skip this step. After washing your car, avoid using any waxes. Using a clean microfibre towel and your cleaner, thoroughly spray the outer panel and wipe clean, twice! Do so again behind all door jams, body gaps, under rubber moulds, and all. Anywhere within 200mm of your installation area.

Installation Guide.

Step 1: Clean, Position and Tape

Clean thoroughly your doors from any oils, grime and dirt using either an isopropyl alcohol or similar cleaner and a microfibre towel.

Using masking tape, apply horizontally across the uninstalled sticker with 3” overhang, tacking it to the door/bonnet. Step back 5-10m, check for alignment, angle and position. This tape, is called your “hinge”

Step 2: Peel and Trim

Once the hinge is secured to the body, carefully peel the vinyl away from the backing paper up to the hinge line. Using scissors or a blade, trim off the exposed backing. Be careful not to scratch your paint with a blade!

Step 3: Start Squeegeeing

Using your MRN felt-tipped squeegee (or a credit card wrapped with cloth), apply left and right upward overlapping strokes, with medium to firm even pressure.

Step 4: Peel & Work Downward

Now you can remove the “hinge” masking tape. Using the same overlapping squeegee left and right strokes, begin to slowly peel the remaining backing paper downward, working methodically.

Step 5: Continue Stroking til the end

Repeat the left and right overlapping strokes with medium pressure, downward as the backing paper is relieved. Ensure all the edges are sealed down.

Step 6: Admire and Conquer

Once complete, step back, admire and measure placement to make the other side symetrical. You’re a master installer now!

And as your MRN Graphics provide at least 5hp, you should also be expecting faster lap times :) Please write us a review, tag us on socials, and share MRN within the pitlane.
