The foil is laid on the painted surface. The iron is then plugged into the outlet. When the ironing device is warmed up, we begin to drive it over the foil, smoothing the surface. We make a couple of movements, after which we carefully remove the foil and try to remove the old layer of paint with a spatula. If the material has been warmed up enough, the paintwork will peel off easily. If this does not happen, then you need to return the foil to its place and warm the material again.
