Selecting the right vinyl decal and applying it properly can transform your vehicle into a rolling joke or statement piece. Follow these steps to ensure your decal looks great, lasts long, and is easy to remove when needed.
### Choosing the Perfect Decal
#### Consider Vinyl Type
– Use **Oracal 651** for durability and outdoor resistance.
– Ensure the decal’s adhesive is compatible with vehicle surfaces.
#### Size & Placement
– Measure your space accurately—avoid overcrowding.
– Keep decals at eye level or on visible windows for maximum impact.
– Avoid placing decals on textured or uneven surfaces.
#### Design & Humor
– Pick a funny design that matches your personality.
– Keep text large and clear for readability.
– Use contrasting colors for visibility.
### Compatibility & Surface Preparation
#### Window vs. Paint
– **Windows**: Oracal 651 adheres well; ensure the surface is clean.
– **Painted surfaces**: Use on flat, smooth areas; avoid textured or damaged paint.
#### Surface Prep
– Clean thoroughly with alcohol or soapy water.
– Dry completely to remove dust and oils.
### Application Tips
#### Tools Needed
– Squeegee or credit card
– Masking tape
– Spray bottle with water and a few drops of dish soap (for repositioning)
#### Step-by-Step
1. **Position**: Use masking tape to set the decal in place.
2. **Wet Application**: Lightly spray water on the surface and decal to facilitate adjustments.
3. **Apply**: Peel the backing and carefully place the decal, starting from one edge.
4. **Smooth**: Use the squeegee to remove bubbles and water, working from the center outward.
5. **Dry & Cure**: Let the decal set for at least 24 hours before washing or exposing to harsh conditions.
### Removal & Maintenance
#### Removal Tips
– Heat with a heat gun or hairdryer to soften adhesive.
– Peel slowly at a 45-degree angle.
– Use adhesive remover if residue remains.
#### Maintenance
– Wash gently; avoid abrasive scrubbers.
– Do not scrub decals directly to prolong lifespan.
