INSTALLING YOUR RIM STICKERS
Just like installing a deco kit, installing rims requires time, precision and patience.
Before installing, clean your rims using a high-pressure cleaner and a rim cleaner that you can find in stores.
Make sure to dry the rims well and clean off any remaining residue with a cloth.
Next, find a clean, bright space with brake cleaner, a clean microfiber cloth, and a hair dryer or heat gun.
STEP 1: DEGREASING THE RIMS
We recommend using a good quality brake cleaner. Don't hesitate to use a good amount. The more, the better!
Dip your cloth in the product and apply it to the entire surface of the rim.
STEP 2: APPLYING THE STICKERS
Before peeling the sticker off the backing paper, check that it matches your rim! Test the alignments and positioning.
Do not remove the sticker from the backing paper all at once ! You risk damaging the glue with your fingers or dust particles.
Place your sticker on the side of the rim. Take the time to align the sticker on the rim.
The goal is to start sticking the middle of the sticker and then work your way outwards to push out the air.
When the sticker becomes too stiff or needs to be bent to fit an edge, you can start using heat (with a hair dryer or heat gun).
The heat will activate the glue, softening it and removing any air channels within it.
Use strong pressure when applying the sticker . The harder you press, the more it will adhere to the surface.
STEP 3: POST-HEATING
To increase the adhesion of the stickers, simply heat the edges and areas of tension. Remember to press firmly on the area in question after heating it.
STEP 4: ADMIRE THE RESULT
Take a few minutes to admire your work. Grab your phone, capture your best shots and share them on your social networks by tagging us: decomotos_fr. You can also send them to us in a private message, our teams will be happy to share them again.
STEP 5: WAIT AT LEAST 24 HOURS
It is important to wait 24 to 48 hours before using your motorcycle to allow the glue to properly bond to the rims. Make sure your motorcycle is stored in a dry place at room temperature (if it is too cold, the stickers may shrink).
Heat the stickers one last time for optimal hold.
