two color applications

Recommended Posts

I have a job coming up for applying 2 color lettering to a work van.  My question is how do most of you apply?  Do you layer the colors prior to the install or do you do it during the install?  I had layered a 2 color job prior to the install and I got some bubbles on the bottom color where the top color and bottom color meet.  Didn't get enough pressure with the squeegee when applying where the 2 colors meet due to the thickness of the top color.

On the same note what transfer tape do you guys use for layering multiple colors.  Currently I am using a clear matte finished tape from FDC but the material really tunnels and bubbles up when there is a change in temp. before I can get it applied.  Makes it much more nerve racking to apply. ;)  Please advise if any of you guys/gals experience this with your clear app.tape.  If not please share what type you use.

Thanks for your help once again.  This forum has helped me in so many ways and it is greatly appreciated! ;D

I would do the layering during install and use paper tape instead of the clear.
