Miata Side Stripe Installation

To install your Miata Side Stripes start by placing the stripes on the side of your car perfectly even. Place two small pieces of tape on both left and right sides to hold it up and one longer strip of tape down the center coming off the top and bottom of your stripe, this will act as a hinge.

Pull one side of the stripe up to the hinge and peel down the paper backing, leaving the vinyl banner material stuck to the transfer tap. Cut the backing paper off at the hinge. Spray the back of the now exposed adhesive backing of the stripe and side of car. Do not get the paper backing from the other side wet.

Take a squeegee(credit card will also work) and slowly lay the stripe down, squeegeeing out the water as you go until the first side is completely laid and bubble free.

Next do the same to the other side. Remove the center tape, discard remaining paper backing, spray, squeegee! Once both sides have been laid, slowly peel back the transfer tape from the banner.

NOTES

  • It is easiest to apply banners to a warm car door over cold. If possible, moderately heat with a heat gun. However do not over heat.
  • Beware of heavy wind when installing.
  • Specialty materials such as oilslick, sparkle, etc should be applied dry.
  • Clean sides of car thoroughly with water or alcohol, DO NOT use RainX or other polishes.
