APPLICATION This specification was released originally for decals used on vehicles to provide statement of compliance to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or to provide display of transmission shift patterns. They are appli
4、ed to the painted surface by removing the paper liner and pressing firmly into place. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 MATERIAL Th
5、e decals shall be free of streaks, blisters, wrinkles, ragged edges and other surface imperfections which would make it unsuitable for the intended usage. The process pastes used should be such as to ensure adequate adhesion of background colors or copy to the base film. The appearance shall be glos
