BODY STRIPES/DECALSÐXJ
SERVICE INFORMATION
XJ body stripes and decals are weather resistant
tape with a adhesive backing.
REPAIR
Small nicks, scratches and other surface marks in
a body stripe/decal can be touched-up with paint.
To eliminate blisters and air bubbles in a body
stripe/decal, pierce them with a needle or pin.
A heat gun can also be used to remove small wrin-
kles in a stripe/decal.
REQUIREMENTS
Body stripe/decal replacement requires that the
metal repair and paint refinish be completed first.
The work area temperature should be between
18ÉC (65ÉF) and 32ÉC (90ÉF).A tape stripe/decal
should not be replaced if the work area temper-
ature is less than 18ÉC (65ÉF).
The following equipment and material are neces-
sary for removal and installation:
²Commercial tape stripe/decal removal solution.
²Commercial adhesive removal solution.
²Liquid dish detergent (for the wetting solution).
²Mixture of wetting solution.
²Commercial wax and silicone removal solution.
²Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
²Small squeegee (plastic or hard rubber).
²Water bucket and sponge.
²Clean wiping rags or paper towels.
²Heat gun (or infra-red heat bulb).
²Wax pencil.
²
Sharp knife, single edge razor blade or X-acto knife.

The use of a wetting solution aids the installation of a
tape stripe/decal on a painted panel. Prepare the wet-
ting solution by mixing two or three teaspoons of dish
detergent with 1 gallon of water.Do not use soap.
Too much detergent will reduce the effective-
ness of the mixture.
REMOVAL

door the openings as necessary.
(2) Start at one end of the tape stripe/decal and
apply heat with a heat gun. Slowly peel the stripe/
decal from the panel by pulling it back.Do not pull
the tape stripe/decal outward from panel.
WARNING: USE TAPE STRIPE/DECAL REMOVAL
SOLUTION IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA ONLY.
(3) A tape stripe/decal removal solution can be used
for removal at areas where a heat gun is ineffective:
²Mask-off the body panel area surrounding the tape
stripe/decal (Fig. 1).
²Move solution spray across the complete length of
stripe/decal with a steady motion.
²Ensure that the complete stripe/decal is covered
with solution.
