 Apply Skin
 Remove Backing

Apply Skin
- Peel off the backing paper.
- Use a soft, wet sponge to press the skin onto the car body - first the two sides, then the top. The transfer paper will release when it is thoroughly soaked. Do not use force to remove the transfer paper.
- Fold the design under the bottom of the car.
- Smooth out wrinkles by dipping your fingers in water and rubbing over the skin.

Finish
- Make windshields and windows with the black skin material. Cut out and apply the window material just like the body skin (Caution: The window material is very thin. Handle carefully, and allow the backing material to become thoroughly soaked before attempting to remove the backing material.
- If desired, apply a clear finish. Test compatibility with the finish by applying the finish to a small area first (or on a scrap of wood with a piece of body skin applied).

Alternate Use
