Step 1: Cleaning

Before wrapping your AR-15, it is vital to thoroughly inspect, prep, and clean the surface of your gun. Make sure your gun is empty before beginning the application process. Oil and grease will be present and must be completely removed. If not, the material will not properly stick to the surface. We recommend using a degreaser formulated for guns to remove any oil or grease from your gun's surface.

Isopropyl alcohol should be used to remove any residue left behind. It is helpful to use a small soft brush to scrub into the crevices of your AR-15 to ensure that your gun is clean. Wrapping your AR-15 with your bare hands may add natural oil or grease to your gun, so we recommend washing your hands with dish soap after cleaning your gun prior to installation.

Step 2: Inspect Universal Pieces

Look at all the universal pieces included in your kit. The items highlighted in red have relief cuts. Take your time removing the pieces from the backing of the sheet as they can tear easily.

Step 3: Primer (Optional)

Apply primer in problem areas that can lift to help with longevity of your wrap.

Step 4: Apply Wrap Pieces

Apply all pieces as shown below. Our kits are universal and may require additional trimming for a custom fit. Line the pieces up and apply firm pressure using your fingers or glove.

Step 5: Top Pieces Application

Line up the top pieces one at a time using the small V notches to help find the center of the gun. Apply the center using firm pressure with your fingers or glove. Trim the length of the wraps like shown below to allow an easier application. Complete the application, then trim all excess and apply the next top piece.

Step 6: Detail Trim

Now that the wrap is complete, use heat to go over the wrapped areas and trim as needed. Use a squeegee to tuck any areas and use some heat to lock them in place.

Step 7: Magazine Installation

Draw a line all around the mag following the rim of the gun with a pencil.

Step 8: Detail Trim (Magazine)

Now you can cut along the bottom of the green tape. Remove the excess wrap and the green tape.
