Processing Instructions:

All surfaces to which the material will be applied must be thoroughly cleaned from dust, grease or any contamination. Use soapy water to remove the dust and degrease with isopropyl alcohol.

Application on flat or slightly curved surfaces:

• Apply TuningFilm 900 FlexChrome BF with the dry application method.
• On convex areas – Heat the film with a heat gun or an IR lamp before conforming it over the convex area, using a maximum film temperature of 50-55°C to avoid changes in the metallisation aspect and change in the gloss level. When using a heat gun, if possible, heat from the back of the product.Once applied, stabilise the film for a few seconds at a temperature of 70°C.
• On corrugated or concave areas – Heat the film at a max. of 50-55°C before application. If the film is stretched into a corrugation it may pop-out after a few weeks. We therefore recommend to stabilise the film for a minimum of a few seconds at 70°C (film temperature) after application and to cut the film in the areas of most deformation. This way the film will be applied in the corrugation without tension. Do not overstretch the film.

• On rivets – Apply the film over the rivet with high pressure and heat it with a heat gun respecting the temperatures indicated here above. The film may lift slightly after a few weeks.
• Application on a boat – We recommend edge sealing.

Removability:

Once heated, TuningFilm 900 FlexChrome BF is very easy to remove, leaving almost no adhesive residue on car/boat body. Some adhesive residue may be expected on gel coat boat hulls after film removal. Eventual adhesive residues can be removed with isopropyl alcohol. Removability is warranted on original manufacturer coatings only.

Printing:

TuningFilm 900 FlexChrome BF is printable with several types of digital printing inks. Prints should be laminated with CastLam Gloss/Matt to ensure a long lasting result.
