How are Vehicle Safety Markings Applied correctly?
This article will explain what is important to keep in mind when applying self-adhesive reflective sheeting to your vehicle and offers an illustrated step-by-step guide on how to apply the sheeting to your car.
Correct Positioning of the Chevrons is Crucial:
The chevrons on the sheeting (alternating stripes tilted in a 45° angle) always have to point down towards to the edge of the vehicle. On the rear of a vehicle e.g., you will find the left side of the vehicle marked with left-hand chevrons and the right side of the vehicle marked with right-hand chevrons.
Please note: the directions of the chevrons as we sell them always refers to the vertical position of the roll i.e. for left-hand horizontal marking you have to choose the right-hand roll and vice versa. (Read more about directions of safety markings as they are available in our shop:

Preparation
Before applying self-adhesive sheeting, the substrate should be cleaned thoroughly. The surface must be free from grease and dirt. Surface and ambient temperature should be moderate (between 15°C and 30°C) to ensure good adhesion. Use a (felt-)squeegee for professional results.
