  • Method of applying a finishing sheet to a substrate
    Patent number: 5795420
    Abstract: A method of applying a finishing sheet to a substrate, such as a body part of a scooter or motorcycle which includes the steps of printing a graphic design on that side of a transparent finishing sheet which is to face towards the substrate on which it is applied and applying a film adhesive to the side of the sheet on which the graphic design is printed. The method also includes applying the finishing sheet to the substrate by thermo-vacuum forming; during this forming, the sheet is heated to soften the sheet, to melt the adhesive and to rewet the ink used to print the graphic. The thermoformed finishing sheet is trimmed along the perimeter of the substrate.
