Selecting the right vinyl decal and applying it properly ensures your vehicle stands out with humor and style. Follow these steps for a smooth, long-lasting application.
## Choosing the Right Decal
### Material & Compatibility
– Use **Oracal 651** vinyl for durability and outdoor resistance.
– Confirm decals are suitable for **windows and painted surfaces**—Oracal 651 adheres well to both.

### Design & Sizing
– Pick a design that complements your vehicle’s size—large enough to be seen but not overwhelming.
– Measure your space before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
– Consider the decal’s orientation—horizontal, vertical, or curved to match the surface.
### Pro Tip:
When in doubt, opt for a slightly smaller decal; you can always layer or add more later.

4. **Remove transfer tape** slowly at a sharp angle, ensuring the decal stays in place.
