Q: Hello,
I am wanting to camo up my sportsbike (Suzuki SV650). Some parts of the body are very detailed with alot of small cornered areas. Will I be able to use the camo wrap in those areas?
A: Yes, just take your time and work smaller pieces down into the deep areas and it works great.
Q: i purchased camo wrap for my aluminum jon boat. my question is that ive been told that i can add a mixture of water and liquid soap and spray the boat and the sticker and use the squeege to get out the water and i will eliminate all bubbles and wrinkes and once i let it dry it will be good to go. please let me know what you think before i start adding the graphics. thank you frank
A: Yes, you can, and is a commonly used method of applying the material.
Q: I drive through some thick brush. How resistant is it to scratches and tears?
A: Extremely durable to resist tears and total protection from scratches! I have put my truck through heck and back and this stuff rocks!
Cris
Q: How to I figure out how much Camoclad I need to cover my project?
A: There is a formula for determining how many sheets of Camoclad it would take to cover most projects. Its true, but it takes a little work to figure out, we find that a tape measure and calculator works best!
Try this:
Measure the surface area to be covered in square feet.
To obtain a gross idea of the square footage of an area, multiply the length by the width.
Add 20% to your total square feet.
Divide the total by 20.
The remainder is the number of sheets needed!
Example:
180 Sq. Ft. + 20% = 216 sq. ft.
216 sq. ft. divided by 20 = 10.8 sheets
Q: How big is the pattern printed on the sheets? Is it the same as if it was printed on a shirt or piece of clothing?
A: If you hold a sheet of Camoclad out in front of you with the pattern oriented properly, the sheets will measure approximately 5 feet wide by 4 feets tall. All patterns are manufactured to actual scale so a leaf is as big as a leaf and branch or cattail is true to size as you would find in nature itself!
Q: I have a red RZR Polaris and would like to camo it. Will the red plastic body panels show or bleed through the camo? Is the camo 100% nontransparent?
Thanks TS
A: No way will it show through! The product is definitely not transparent and it about the thickness of good quality duct tape. Not the cheap digitally printed camouflage wraps on the market. It will also really help protect from any scratches to the body panels themselves and will take a pretty sharp edge and a lot of force to cut through the Camoclad.
It I can answer any questions, feel free to call 801 833-3820
Q: What is the difference between the 3M sheets and the permanent ones? Is it adhesive or the material itself?
Thanks
A: Actually, both. The removable product is a 3M ControlTac based product which allows you to easily apply, then if you get a wrinkle or bubble you can pull it up and reapply it back down to get the imperfections out as you are working with the product. The gluing is a forgiving glue system.
Where as the permanent product is a slightly thicvker product and has a gluing system that once the surface of the material comes into contact with the vehicle, it is stuck there for good. No repositioning the product. It was made more for heavy duty uses like boats that are going to be in salt water or for areas that are easily applied to, such as a straight, no curves or bends areas. Feel free to call me with any questions at 801 833-3820.

Q: Hi,
I have a 2000 Ford F150 and would like to camo the rockers and the plastic parts of the front bumper. I'm confident I can do the rockers with no problem but my concern is the bumper. First, will it stick to the plasic? Second, how well will it follow the contours? My last question is if I can't do it would you know of anyone in the southeastern Wisconsin area that could do it for me?
Thanks for your help,
Troy
A: Bumpers and plastic are fine as long as your prepare the surface as recommended in the instructions. The contours can be handled several ways from using a wide area flame propane torch or even a household hair dryer to get the material more pliable, just be careful not to use too much heat and stretching. Or you can use small pie shaped relief cuts that slightly over lap to take out excess and mold around bends. Was the video on the web site available in the Menu on Camoclad Installation and it has some great tips!
As far as installing it, if you're not comfortable with doing it, almost any local graphics wrap company can apply this 3M based product and are familiar with 3M ControlTac.
Q: Do you ship to Canada? If so I live in Kelowna B.C.. How much would it be to ship 4 sheets of the mossy oak vehicle camo sheets, size 4ft x 2.5 ft? Thanks.
A: Unfortunately, we do not ship to Canada at this time.
Q: I have a Ford Ranger and I want to put camo rocker panels on it, but I've never seen it done. Do you have any suggestions? Have you seen it before, did it look okay? Also, its maroon. Are there any camo patterns that would go with that color better than the others. I can't decide on a pattern and I'm hoping this can help me.
thanks,
Kelsie
A: This product is very easy to apply, given you follow the instructions that comes with it, and I can't stress enough how much surface preparation is EVERYTHING! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! It looks awesome with just about any of the patterns on just about any color actually. It is really a matter of what you like best with the colors we have available. Maybe look more at what would look good with the interior of the vehicle? Hope that helps.
Q: Does the camo wrap cover up and hide dings in your vehicle well? My vehicle was in a hail storm. Would it be in my best interest to get the hail damage fixed first? Or would it hid alot of it? Also, the clear coat is peeling off. Does that effect the camo staying put?
A: It will cover minor dings although you will need to be careful to get the material worked down into the surface of the car before it touches the opposite side and then you are trying to push it down into the ding and stretch it. Yes, depending on how bad the clear coat is peeling it could have an effect on performance of the product. You could lightly sand the rough areas to remove any of the clear coat that is not stick down tight before applying the material.
Q: How resistant is the material to the abuse of weather? Will the UV rays from the sun badly fade the material?
A: Both the material we print on, 3M ControlTac, and our specific inks are UV protected and I have had this on a truck personally for over 9 years and it showed no color fading at all.
Q: Does the kit come with instructions and a squeegee for application?
A: Yes, it comes with a detailed instruction manual and I can't stress enough how important it is you follow these instructions! And it does come with an application squeegee!
Q: Are the ATV camo kits strictly designed for certain ATV's or will they fir most atv's around the same size?
A: Out Standard and Deluxe kits are made to fit just about any ATV. The Standard Kit is made for ATV vehicles 400 CC and below and the Deluxe Kit is made for machines above 400 CC. They are a cut to fit kit that comes in sheets averaging 4 foot by 5 foot, and estimated to cover that size rig!
Q: How well do the panels hold up to washing with high pressure nozzles? Not like 3500 psi pressure, but like a standard self service car wash. Does waxing over the panels help or hurt them?
A: Washing it in an automatic car wash is just fine. We do not recommend having the wax put on as it will build up over time and cause a fading look to the material. If you want to protect the product, we recommend using a product like Armoral as it is a vinyl product and just like your dash board it works great to prolong the life and protect trhe product.
Q: How big are the MorningWood camo sheets and can they be cut to a custom size?
A: All our full sheets of Camoclad are approximately 46.5 inches tall and 48 inches, and are laminated 3M products. We do offer them in all all our kits, and feel free to call us if we can help! 801 833-3820.
Q: My rifle has a wooden stock, can I camo it? Can you put the camo on the whole rifle or would you just do the stock?
Jo Kell
A: Jo,
We offer a kit for shotgun and rifles that will allow you to cover the entire gun. It sticks great to metal and wood if prepared following our instructions.
Cris
Q: i have just sanded down and am preping my bronco for primer.. will i need to put any other coat on clear coat base coat etc.. before i put the camo on?
A: As long as you've used a good quality primer, it should go right on!
Cris
Q: If you take your vehicle through deep water or mud will it cause it to fade over time? Will it be safe to take it through any mud hole and it still look as good as it did when I bought it? Thanks.
A: Our camo LOVES mud! You just need to make sure you prepare the surface following the instructions and make sure all edges are cleaned well before you apply it to get a good seal and hit the mid once applied!
Q: If i bought your product and i wanted to sell my truck after a while would it be easy to remove or how would i do it
A: Yes, it is easily removable with applying a little heat and physically trying to take it off and will do nothing but protect the surface.
Q: Do you have pictures of what the view is from inside the vehicle.
Does it darken the interior like window tinting?
I want to use this on my motorhome instead of curtains, will it dim it enough?
Thanks
A: Paul,
Yes, it does darken the inside. It is what is called a 50/50 let through, which means it blocks view, either inside or out, by 50%. It actually is slightly darker than that. The good thing is you can see out better than you can see inside from the outside, helping to keep prying eyes out. Because of the camo printing it blocks view inside almost totally as long as it is fairly dark inside. I think you’d be very happy with the results. I have a sleeper with solid sides on my truck and used the window film on the only window, the back door window, and I love it. No one can see what is inside my sleeper, but if I get inside, which I do often on hunting trips to sleep, I can see right out!
Q: Can you take the wrap off and re-apply later?
A: No it is a once use product.
Q: I am building a camoflauge stand. I would like to put plexiglass windows in the stand and want to apply the perforated window film to the plexiglass to conseal movment inside. will the sheets of perforated window film work on plexiglass?
Thanks in advance
Shawn McDonald
A: Shawn,
IT WORKS AWESOME! We have had many clients do that very thing and are supper happy with the results.
Q: I have a '88 Toyota 4Runner with a removable hardtop. The surface of the top is slightly textured from the factory. I fear that there will be too many air bubbles for it to adhere properly to the fiberglass top?
A: Mike,
It can cause a few problems doing it yourself. It can be done, but takes heat and a paint brush to tap the material down into the rippled area and is quite time consuming.
