MATERIAL PROPERTIES
What are Stickman Vinyls stickers made of?
Our stickers are made of high quality, waterproof, durable 3M and Oracal materials. These stickers are durable, have strong adhesive and great colour quality. All our sticker products have a 1 YEAR guarantee against cracking and discoloration.
How strong is the glue on the sticker?
The glue used is an industry standard, as the raw material is made by Oracal Company in Germany. We have personally tested the stickers on non-porous smooth surfaces (like on bike fairings, rims and petrol tank) and they perform above expectations.
Why stickers do not stick properly?
There may be several reasons why the stickers do not stick properly:
- The rims were not cleaned adequately - the rims need to be cleaned thoroughly with soap and water to ensure no grease, dirt or oil is left on the rim. Do not use solvent cleaners as these may leave a film on the surface of the rim which will interfere with the adhesive on the stickers.
- The temperature - these stickers adheres best if assembled in room temperature. The adhesive may not adhere well if the assembly was done on cold rims that have been left at outdoor temperature. Please use a hairdryer to heat up the area on the rims just before sticking the stickers.
- Improper assembly technique - please see our assembly videos from this link for guide on how to assemble your stickers. https://www.youtube.com/@StickmanVinyls
- Surface of the rim - our stickers stick best on smooth non-porous surfaces.
- Washing too soon or using pressure wash - do allow at least 3 days for the stickers to properly bond with the rims before taking it for a wash or a ride. Also, these stickers cannot withstand pressure wash.
Will the stickers damage my rims?
No. Our stickers do not damage your undercoat upon removal.
What is the transparent layer on top of the stickers for?
The transparent layer on top of the stickers are called the transfer tape. It is use as an installation tool primarily to ease the transfer of sticker to your rim. The transfer tape is to be removed once the sticker is installed on the rim.
How do I install a sticker with transfer tape?
When the backing paper is removed, the transparency of the transfer tape allows you to see where you are placing the sticker. Applied to desired position and smooth the sticker to the rim with a squeegee. Remove the transfer tape to reveal your sticker.
What are the mini clear strips that comes with the sticker order for?
The mini clear strips are our unique protective film that can be applied over your rim stickers to prevents edge lifting and damages.
Additional note to identify the clear protect film and its correct application :
1) The long curve shaped clear protect film are to be used over the small Edge outer rim stickers.
2) The short curve shaped clear protect film are to be used on the edges of the outer rim liners.
3) The long straight rectangular shaped clear protect film are to be used on the edges of the inner rim stickers.
How long will the sticker last?
It depends on the surface texture and how we care for them. Our stickers are outdoor grade that can withstand most weather and elements. Under normal environment, these stickers can last for many years usually 3-5 years or more. Cleaning the rim properly before installation is key to making sure a sticker last for years to come.
What if i have a textured rims?
Our stickers stick best on smooth non-porous surfaces. Bare in mind, sticker material is designed to take the shape of your rim and any texture underneath will show through.
Can i reuse my stickers?
No. Our stickers are non removable and non reusable.
Can the sticker be applied to a window?
Yes, our stickers will stick on any smooth surfaces including windows. Do note that the adhesive part of the stickers are on the reverse side which means they cannot be placed from inside of a window and still be visible from the outside. The stickers are to be applied only on the outside of the window.
How to identify reflective stickers?
You can easily identify reflective properties by placing the stickers in a dark area and take a picture with the flash turned on.
What rim size are these stickers made for?
Our stickers are made to fit standard 17" rims. They may still be compatible with 16” and 18” rim size as there are slightly stretchable.
Why do the outer rim liner not fit my 17” rims?
It only seems that it wont fit because the stickers are held in place by the transfer tape and backing paper. However, our stickers were designed as such to fit the curvature of the rim. They are stretchable to an extend. That would mean you can manually align them to your rim curvature. You anchor the first point of contact with the rim then stretch while pegging the next point of contact so that it follows the curve. The transfer tape helps in this regards.

How do i remove my stickers?
Steps to remove stickers
1) Soak and soften stickers with solution or lubricant like WD40. Spray the multi purpose solvent around the stickers. Let it soak for around 1-2 minutes.
2) Heat up the sticker and its surrounding area with a heat gun or hair dryer. By doing this the adhesive starts to become liquid again. Do not overheat or point the heat gun too close to the plastic fairings as this might cause it to melt and bubbling on the paint. Its safer to use a hairdryer as they are not hot enough to cause damages.
3) Once the sticker warms up, the corners become pliable. Use your fingernail to carefully lift from one corner of the sticker and slowly peel the edge. It helps if you can keep the area around the sticker warm during peeling. Do not use any sharp objects such as knife or blade as this might damage the paint.
4) Once the sticker has been removed, spray WD40 or glue removal on the surface and clean any remaining residue with a cloth.
5) You may end the removal step by waxing the surface (optional but recommended). This is to blend the surface where we removed the sticker with the rest of the body.
Pointers to note
- If sticker is stubborn, make sure to soften them first by using solutions.
- Heat helps soften the adhesive and allow for easier peeling.
- Do not use sharp tools to scape the sticker.
- Apply a combination of heat, the right solvent and possibly the edge of an old ID or credit card for best result.
- Do not use lighter or open flame to heat or you run a risk of injury. Hair dryer or heat gun works best.
- It might help if you remove sticker on a hot day. Removing sticker in a cold environment is challenging and not ideal.
- Check to see if the sticker has been clear-coated. If so, this method will not work well. You would need to remove the coating first.
- Be patience and be consistent with the removal process. Do not rush or skip steps. You will create more mess if you force things along.
Tools you need:
- WD-40 or any multipurpose solutions
- Heat gun or hairdryer
- Plastic scraper or a used ID card
- A rag or towel
- Lots of patience
