If you have been riding a dirt bike for a long time, some things can happen. Your graphics can be beaten up, or you become sick at looking the same old graphics each time you ride.

Remove Old Graphics

After getting the plastics off, you can now move the graphics. It is advisable to heat them to ensure most of the adhesive comes off with the graphic. In this case, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun. However, you should be careful to avoid melting the graphic.

Clean the Plastics

When the adhesive comes out, it becomes easy to clean it up. In this case, you can use a contact cleaner with a micro-fiber towel. You need to ensure that the entire adhesive plus other residues come off so that the new graphics have a clean surface.

Put New Graphics

Start by picking out a part of the plastic you want to apply graphic on. You can start anywhere, but most people start and work their way back. You can make the graphics easier to work with and more pliable. Take out your hair dryer or heat gun and heat up your new graphics. When they are warm, you can start placing them on the plastic. Remove a small part of the decal to ensure you are working with a small area. As you place the decal, ensure you are working on a single direction to reduce the number of creases and bubbles.

Now, after successfully putting the first graphic down, you can repeat the process until you are done. Even if it is not perfect, you should not worry. You only need to take your hair dryer or heat gun and push out the creases and air bubbles.

Keep These Tips

You need to ensure that you do not install the graphics in a damp or cold area. Always ensure you have a clean surface before you install the graphics. In this way, you can improve their lifespan.…
