Each section is numbered in the order we recommend applying the pieces. This will help ensure artwork properly lines up. For example, on the Exhaust Side Panel, labeled, start there. Then, move to and so on. This will help insure proper alignment, and fit.

Post heating! Use a standard heat gun or propane torch to heat specific pieces up to warm temperature, but be careful not to get too hot. Rule of thumb is warm to the touch. Once complete, re-apply pressure over the entire piece with squeegee to insure adhesion/bond to low energy plastics of snowmobile. Once complete, allow pieces to cool down and bond accordingly

  • Wet Application Recommended *Pieces include painted plastics i.e. hood & nose sections, tunnel & top of tunnel accessories.

  • Dry Application Recommended *Pieces include low energy plastic side panels, lower nose sections, headlight pod sections, and gas tank accessory.

 

Vinyl Quality and Industry Standards

At SCS Unlimited, we use premium, high-performance vinyl specifically engineered for the extreme conditions of powersports.

Premium Materials

Material

We utilize industry-standard, multi-layered vinyl (typically 21 mil thick including laminate) which is designed for conformability over complex curves.

Adhesive Technology

The vinyl features a high-tack, pressure-activated adhesive. This technology is the gold standard in the wrap industry because it allows for repositioning during install but creates a permanent bond once firm pressure and heat are applied.

Installation Resources & Support

Need help with installation? We've got you covered with detailed guides, video tutorials, and expert tips.

Installation Videos

Watch step-by-step video guides to master your installation:

Note: The videos are created by end users. Installing vinyl is stylistic, and while many of these techniques can be performed by end users, the videos demonstrate just a few approaches. If you're unsure which method to use, contact your local wrap or sign experts for a professional install.

Adhesion Troubleshooting

Stickers are falling off or lifting overnight usually points to a surface energy issue rather than a defect in the adhesive.

Chemical Contamination

Even if you cleaned your machine with isopropyl alcohol, previous use of silicone-based cleaners (like Maxima SC1 or other "new bike in a can" sprays) can cause major issues.


  • The Problem: Silicone leaves behind a microscopic, high-slip film that alcohol cannot fully strip.
  • The Result: This creates a "non-stick" surface that prevents the high-tack adhesive from ever reaching the plastic, causing the vinyl to lift as it cools.
  • Pro Tip: If you suspect silicone use, a more aggressive degreaser or specialized surface prep may be required before the final alcohol wipe.
  • Installation Temperature

    For the adhesive to set properly, both the shop and the machine's surface need to be at room temperature (ideally 65°F–75°F). If the plastic was cold during the install, or if the shop temperature dropped significantly overnight, the adhesive may not have reached its full chemical bond strength.
