General
The wood grain applique (transfer film) is a vinyl
material with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing. The
Fig. 12—Running Boards—CK Series
transfers are serviced in pre-cut panels. The transfers are
designed with an appealing wood grain pattern and a 50
degree or semi-gloss finish.
Preparation of the surface to which the transfer will be
applied is very important. In cases where body metal
repair has been made it is necessary to prime and color
coat these areas to blend with the undamaged surface.
Apply the transfer film to color coated panels only, never
to bare metal or primer.
The surface must be free of any imperfections that
might high-light through the film. Remove dirt nibs and
other foreign material in the paint by light sanding with
600 grit sandpaper.
The temperature of the body must be maintained at a
moderate level between approximately 70 and 90
degrees. Too warm a body will cause the wood grain film
to stick prematurely while too cool a body will reduce the
adhesion of the wood grain film. Cool the body panel
with cool water when too warm and heat the body panel
with a heat gun or a heat lamp when too cold.
Transfers should not be replaced in temperatures below
65 degrees Fahrenheit. The transfer should not be
subjected to temperature greater than 175°F and should
