## How to Choose and Apply Funny Car Decals for Your Vehicle
Selecting the right vinyl decal and applying it properly can transform your vehicle into a rolling joke or statement piece. Focus on durability, size, and safe application to ensure your decal looks great and lasts.
## Choosing the Perfect Funny Car Decal
### Material & Compatibility
– **Use Oracal 651 vinyl** for durability and weather resistance.
– **Check window tint compatibility**: Oracal 651 adheres well to glass and painted surfaces but avoid placing decals over tinted areas that may peel or bubble.
– **Surface suitability**: Decals stick best on smooth, clean surfaces—windows or painted panels.
### Sizing & Design
– **Size appropriately**: Measure your space—larger decals make a statement, smaller ones add subtle humor.
– **Design choice**: Pick bold, legible fonts and simple graphics for clarity at a distance.
– **Consider placement**: Front windshield, side windows, or bumper are popular spots.
## Preparing Your Vehicle for Application
### Surface Prep
– Clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, avoiding soap residue.
– Dry completely to prevent bubbles and misalignment.
### Tools Needed
– Squeegee or credit card
– Masking tape (for positioning)
– Utility knife (for trimming excess)
## Applying Your Decal Step-by-Step
1. **Position the decal**: Use masking tape to mark your desired placement.
2. **Peel backing**: Carefully remove the transfer tape backing, exposing the adhesive side.
3. **Align and stick**: Place the decal on the surface, starting from one edge.
4. **Smooth out bubbles**: Use a squeegee or card, working from the center outward.
5. **Remove transfer tape**: Slowly peel off, ensuring the decal remains adhered.
### Pro Tip:
– **Work in a dust-free environment** and at moderate temperatures (60-80°F) for best results.
## Removal & Maintenance
– **Removal**: Gently peel from one corner; warm with a heat gun or hairdryer if stubborn.
– **Reapplication**: Clean surface thoroughly before reapplying decals.
## Recommended Decals
– Witty slogans like “I’d Rather Be Napping”
– Funny quotes such as “Caution: Driver Singing”
– Humorous graphics like cartoon characters or puns
