Information Questions and Tips
(information found at www.huntersfriend.com)
IS IT JUST A CAMO
STICKER?
It's more
than that. Camoclad material is much more sophisticated than just
your basic "bumper sticker" material. Camoclad is made from
ultra-durable, 5 mil thick 3M Vinyl sheets - the best quality material
available for this type of application. Each imprinted sheet of
Control-Tac vinyl incorporates a weatherproof 2 part adhesive system,
so it goes on easy, bonds tight, looks great, and can literally last
for a decade or more. All Camoclad products have a proprietary
protective coat that ensures the colors will not fade and will hold up
to the extreme elements of nature (sunlight, snow, ice, water, dirt,
etc….)
HOW DOES IT
GO ON?
Even though Camoclad is a heavy-duty Vinyl sheet, it essentially goes
on by a simple peel, stick, and set method. The back of the Camoclad
covering features 3M's patented Pressure Activated Adhesive system,
allowing Camoclad sheets to be easily positioned and repositioned
during installation to get the perfect placement, without wrestling
with premature adhesion. Once you have the camo coverings where you
want them, just use a squeegee to activate the secondary adhesive and
your Camoclad is done. Camoclad should be allowed to sit for 24 hours
before daily use and washing begin. Watch the
Application Tutorial Video
for more details on the installation process. Complete instructions
and installation tools are included with your kit as well.
ONCE
INSTALLED, IS IT REMOVABLE?
Yes. The ALL PURPOSE, or REMOVABLE Camoclad is not a permanent
application. The Vinyl coverings can be peeled-up and removed at any
time. And Camoclad WILL NOT harm painted surfaces or clear coat
finishes. In fact, Camoclad protects your vehicle's finish. If you
ever remove your Camoclad coverings, the paint underneath will be just
as pristine as the day you installed your Camoclad. So during its
years of use, Camoclad preserves your expensive vehicle by protecting
it from chips, scratches, acid-rain, and sun fade. So for
full-vehicle applications, Camoclad often returns its entire cost
later in the form of increased resale value on your vehicle.
Camoclad does
offer permanent material as well for application on vehicles such as
boats, ATVs, and 4-wheelers. The customer should be 100% certain that
they want the Camoclad on for the life of the vehicle when applying
the Permanent Camoclad.
DOES IT
HAVE TO BE PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED?
No. Some customers prefer to take the Camoclad to our national network
of certified installers, but many of our customers put the Camoclad
Vinyl Kits on themselves. All you'll need is a razor blade (included),
a squeegee (included), a measuring tape, and a couple pairs of strong
hands. There are no bonding chemicals or special processes
necessary. Vehicle accent and smaller projects can often be completed
in just an afternoon. For larger projects, like a full-vehicle
application, you and a friend can complete the work in just a weekend.
HOW MUCH DO
I NEED?
Camoclad is sold in "kits" which are already sized appropriately for
the job (vehicle) you intend to cover. For example, the standard
"Truck Kit" includes 240 sq. ft. of Camoclad camo wrap, enough to
cover just about any pickup on the road including: full size
standard-cab pickups with long or short beds, 2 door Blazers and
Tahoes, Dodge Durangos, Broncos, and 2 door Ford Explorers (to name a
few). You can also get additional pieces separately if you plan to
cover your camper shell, truck bed, dash board, or other extra
surfaces. Although every vehicle has a different total surface area,
the kit allocations are typically quite generous. When the job is
complete, most customers report having some materials "left-over" to
use elsewhere.
HOW MUCH
DOES CAMOCLAD COST?
Camoclad costs between $3.75 - $5-50 per sq. ft. Individual sheets
and smaller accent kits are a little more (per sq. ft.) and the larger
full-vehicle kits are a little less (per sq. ft.). There is no
premium or up-charge for any particular camouflage pattern. Your only
other additional costs will be a delivery charge and the cost of
purchasing your wax & grease remover (DuPont Prep-Sol or similar)
which sells for roughly $18 p/gal. at hardware and automotive supply
stores.
So assuming you perform your own installation, you can complete a
typical truck accent project for $150-$350, depending on the size of
your accent and the total amount of material needed. You can complete
a full head-to-toe vehicle application for roughly $450-$1000, again
- depending on the size your vehicle.

Create your own
custom Camoclad Camo Wrap
The only limit is your imagination! Camoclad Truck Accent Kits come
in a variety of sizes and all 15 camo patterns. So there's a kit to
suit any application and style. You just have to decide if you want
to go mild, wild, or somewhere in the middle. There is no right or
wrong. It's your truck! So make it the way YOU want it.
Maybe you want your effect to be subtle - perhaps a classy rocker
panel accent to add a touch of rugged distinction. Or maybe you want
to make a bold statement and clad the entire center contour. Maybe
you have some creative ambitions for a truly radical scalloped look.
It's up to you!
Either way, your Camoclad truck will be unique - one of a kind. So
whether you go mild, wild, or somewhere in-between, everyone is going
to know YOUR truck when they see it.......as they should!
So where do you begin?
The first step is to measure your truck. Accent material comes in
long "strips". So you'll just need two basic measurements: how long
the strips need to be and how wide they'll need to be.
LENGTH: The Camoclad accent material comes in 30' or 40' total
lengths. Half goes on one side of the truck, half on the other. For
a short-wheel base truck (Jeep, Ranger, S-10, Compact SUV, etc.) the
30' kit will likely be enough. For longer wheel base vehicles (Full
Size Pick-Ups, Suburbans, Expeditions, Denalis, etc.) the 40' length
will probably be required. But to know for sure, you should measure
before you order your Camoclad. EXAMPLE: You intend to do a rocker
panel accent and the total length along the side of the vehicle is 18
ft. In this case, you'll need roughly 36' of material. So you'll
need to order the 40' length accent kit.
WIDTH: Camoclad accent material is available in widths of 8", 11.5",
15", and 23". The correct choice will depend on the width of the area
where you want to install it. For example, if you want to add
Camoclad from the lower door molding down, you'll need to measure the
distance from the molding to the bottom of the door or rocker panel.
Find the widest point and then add 2" to allow for trimming and
folding around door edges. You can always trim away a small amount of
excess, but you can't stretch a short piece to make it fit. So if in
doubt, order the larger size. If you intend to install your Camoclad
between body contour lines or effect panels (like the black truck at
left), you'll need to measure the widest point between those two
contour lines and again add 2".
SPECIAL NOTE: Large or scalloped accents may require using standard
half-sheets (2.5' x 4') rather than accent strips. If your width
exceeds 21", you may want to consider using the larger half sheets
(30" wide).
How to Order
Once you have your measurements, you're ready to order. You can
choose your accent kit in any of the 15 popular camo patterns and
choose from the 8 available sizes or half-sheets:
