When your new automotive artwork arrives from CustomCarPosterShop, you’ll want it to look as stunning on your wall as it does on our website. Framing not only enhances presentation but also protects your print for years to come. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a professional finish.
1. Flattening a Rolled Poster
- Most posters are shipped safely rolled in sturdy tubes. To flatten it:
- Carefully remove the print from the tube and place it face-down on a clean, smooth surface.
- Use clean, heavy books or flat weights on the corners.
- Let it rest for 24–48 hours.
- Avoid using heat or moisture, as this may cause the paper to warp.
2. Choosing the Right Frame Size
Selecting the proper frame is key to a polished display:
- A fitted frame (e.g., 16x20” frame for a 16x20” print) offers a clean, borderless look.
- A matted frame (e.g., 20x30” frame with a 16x20” mat opening) adds depth and visual balance, giving a gallery-style appearance.
- Consider your décor and the car featured in your print when choosing between minimalist and luxury framing styles.
3. Securing the Print to the Frame Backing
- To prevent slipping or damage:
- Use acid-free tape or photo corners to attach the print’s edges to the backing board.
- Ensure even alignment before securing.
Avoid gluing or using adhesive sprays, which can permanently damage the print.
4. Removing Dust and Fingerprints
- Handle your print with clean hands or cotton gloves.
- If dust or smudges appear:
- Gently wipe the surface with a soft microfiber cloth.
- Avoid excessive pressure—your print is delicate and non-laminated.
5. Avoid Using Cleaning Agents
Never use water, glass cleaner, or solvents directly on the print.
As our artwork is non-laminated, cleaning agents can dissolve or smear the ink. Always clean the glass or acrylic before inserting your print.
6. Displaying Your Art the Right Way
To preserve color and quality:
- Avoid placing prints in direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
- Keep away from humid or high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.
- Ideal spaces include living rooms, offices, or garages with stable temperature and lighting.
