Black Stone Guard install question
 

I am going to install a set of black stone guards on the front side of the rear fenders. Is there anything you can spray/apply to paint surface to allow initial movement and adjustment of the plastic guard before the adhesive hardens and it sticks permanently in place.

Thanks in advance!

a few drops of baby shampoo in warm water does the trick, on both surfaces

I used soapy water in a spray bottle. Install them like a decal on a model car. Lots of soapy water. A plastic Bondo squeegee works great to get the bubbles out.

I used a hair dryer when I was done as I did mine during the winter.

The best thing to use is isopropyl alchohol mixed 2:1 with water in a spray bottle. The alchohol evaporates quickly. Clean the area thoroughly, spray the back of the Guard liberally and apply to the fender. Using a piece of hard plastic (like a credit card) work the spray mixture out from top to bottom. How much spray you use depends on the temperature of the fender (applying in a warm garage is best). If it is cold use less spray rather than more.

Make sure you REALLY want them before you do it.

Removing them can also remove paint.

+1000 - I hate mine!!!!! Cant take them off!!

Dave did you try a hairdryer ? no kidding i,m a signguy and use something like that to take decals off.
I have one with a thermostat but a hairdryer works fine, heat up the decal and use something soft like a credit card to take it off.


I will try that sounds good ! i read alot on signforums but never heard that one. I do windows wet and it takes longer maybe this will speed things up a bit.

I use a drop of dishwasher ?? (sorry for spelling dont know the english word for it) in a liter of water. I would do them dry works best for me on smaller decals but if your not sure do it wet it takes longer but it is the safe way.

Dutchie,

I used to be a signguy as well and used isopropyl alchohol on large applications onto glass, car wraps and such. Works very well. Think I heard about from an old sign painter.
