STEP 1: PREP
Clean the area with warm soapy water or an alcohol spray/wipe to remove any dirt and dust prior to installing. Dry the area completely with a microfibre. Your overlay kit will come with three pieces to complete the badge overlay. The underlay (full circle), the logo (VW with transfer tape on top) and the surround (curved strip).
STEP 2: APPLICATION
Peel the underlay piece from the backing paper and position on the badge. Gently tack to the surface of the badge to assess the position and then start to smooth. When applying pressure work from the centre out in a circular motion. If creases start to appear you can lift part of the badge and then re-apply working the crease out. Work slowly until you reach the outer edges and push any creases our with your finger tip.
Once all smooth and secure you can apply the surround piece. To do so centre it at the top of the badge and press down to adhere. Gradually move your way around both side pushing down the secure. When both edges reach the bottom trim away any excess or overlap.
STEP 3: DETAILS
Next apply four pieces of masking tap to the top, bottom and sides of the badge to create a guide for placing the logo piece centred. Peel the logo from the backing paper and while holding onto the transfer tape position it on the badge. You can reposition it a few times if needed.
STEP 4: FINISHING TOUCHES
Once happy with it's positioning, apply pressure over the entire logo to ensure it has adhered to the badge and gently peel back the transfer tape. To further assist the vinyl in adhering you can lightly apply heat with a heat gun or hair dryer.
