does not apply 1977 - 1979 Lincoln Mark V Driver's Side Switch Housing Vinyl Restoration Decal
This listing is for one high quality 3M vinyl decal to restore the appearance of the 1977 - 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V driver side seat/window switch housing. It is pre-cut precisely for a perfect fit, and the lettering has been reset as part of the image so all is bright and clear, and will not rub off as with the originals. It is also laminated for extra protection. Separate listings offers kits for the passenger side switch housing, ashtray lids, dash panels, and the steering wheel horn pad.
The material is a 3M vinyl that is used mainly for exterior automotive wraps. It is designed to be UV-fade resistant, durable, and flexible; able to follow most any shape. It has a bit of elastic capability before distorting that makes it easy to fit exactly to flat or contoured surfaces. It also has just the right amount of light reflection. I trialed several different materials and this one is excellent for the application.
A few observations and suggestions that apply to installing each of the available kits onto a variety of surfaces:
1. It is very important to have your starting surface be as smooth as possible. The vinyl is thin enough to reveal any specs, scratches, etc. Hand sanding is usually fine for most pieces. For deep scratches, other damage, molding depressions (sometimes on the steering wheel horn pad bases), to get a very smooth surface consider using a primer/filler material, then sanding down, repeating as needed.
2. Also make sure your surface is very clean; no sand left over and no fingerprints, etc. I use rubbing alcohol on a folded paper towel and it works great on all surfaces.
3. One your surface is ready, place the decal as-is (un-peeled) in exactly the location in needs to be on your part. Makes sure edges line up nicely, any cutouts are all aligned to cutouts in the decal, etc. Then tape one end of the decal securely in place so that it won’t slip, staying exactly in its final location. I use black electrical tape, it holds in place and then releases well.
4. Lift the un-taped side of the decal and peel about half of the white backing material away from the sticky decal, and carefully cut away the lifted section of backing. Do not attempt to tear the backing with your fingers; you’ll leave residue on the decal’s adhesive that will be very difficult to get off. Use scissors.
5. Lower the exposed portion of the decal into position pressing into place with your fingers starting at the cut-line you’ve just made and working outward toward the edges of the part. Use enough downward pressure and go slowly to get out any wrinkles or air bubbles. You might use a plastic straight edge for larger surfaces like the Mark V passenger side dash panel, to squeegee out the decal evenly.
6. Remove the tape pulling parallel across the surface gently, not lifting upward off the part, and repeat the process for the remaining portion. Remove the rest of the backing and again work from center outward.
7. You can pull on the material just a bit without distorting it if necessary to get all edges to land exactly where they should. The decals are cut precisely for fit where applicable, but there are always slight variations and going slowly and carefully will get a great result.
8. If something does go wrong; the decal touches a part it shouldn’t, gets a wrinkle or bubble while applying…in any case where you must lift the exposed decal from some surface, try to do so with small, firm, quick, jerk-like motion. This will reduce chances of permanently deforming the decal. Try to avoid grabbing an edge and pulling harder, then harder until it starts to release – this will likely cause too much stretch.
9. If in worst case you do stretch the decal beyond a border of some kind, it is easy to trim with an exacto knife, razor blade, or similar once all is firmly in place.
10. Feel free to contact me any time with questions. I will also do the installation work for you if you prefer.
