Vinyl may be applied to any smooth, clean, nonporous surface. Do not apply on polyethylene or other plastics high in plasticizer. All surfaces must be cleaned prior to vinyl application.

FOR PAINTED METALS AND BASE METALS - Clean surface with a solvent such as Prep-sol (E. I. DuPont solvent #39195), Pre-Kleano (R-M or generic), Fin-L-Wash (Napa), VM&P, Xylol or Naptha. Dry the surface with a lint-free cloth before solvent evaporates. Freshly-painted surfaces must be fully cured prior to application of graphics. Always pretest any solvent to be used on a painted surface in an inconspicuous area to make sure the solvent will not attack the surface. Per YOUR environmental recommendations, WESLEY’S CLEAR MAGIC WORKS, TOO.

INTERIOR PAINTED SURFACES - Paint must be cured prior to application of graphics. The area where graphics will be applied should be cleaned with a household cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry. (Latex painted surfaces are not recommended for vinyl letter application.)

Occasionally a dullness or splotchiness will occur on high-performance cast vinyls, such as you have received. This condition is called "blocking". The application of heat or the exposure to sunlight will eliminate this condition and restore the surface gloss to the material.
