Here's what you'll need:
- 2 Sheets of printer paper
- 1 Sheet of colored paper (any dark color)
- Pencil
- Ruler
- YelloTools Speed Mags
- YelloTools Wrapstick
- Heat gun
- Blade
- Squeegee
- Masking Tape
- Scanner
- Adobe Illustrator or preferred program

The Benefits of this Technique
- Perfect for repeat fleet jobs where it is not appropriate to remove the door handles.
- A small amount of time invested on the first job means massive time savings gained on multiple repeat jobs.
- No need for trimming around door handles, so no risk of damaging paintwork.
- No need for massive heating and stretching around the handles, to try and get the door cup to be fully covered - No stretching means no shrinking or popping out.
- No stretching also means no distortion of printed lines, shapes, colors, or text.
- Consistency across all of your fleet jobs - the patch is neat and tidy, and everyone will look the same. This patch will never look like an afterthought!
- Once the positioning of your handles is established in your design, there is no longer any need to measure or dry-fit panels - peel the backing liner, and start wrapping! The handles become your registration points.
