Selecting the right funny car decal and applying it properly ensures a vibrant, long-lasting display. Follow these straightforward steps to choose the perfect decal, confirm compatibility, and get professional-looking results.
## Choosing the Perfect Decal
### Consider Your Vehicle Surface
– **Windows:** Oracal 651 is ideal for smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass.
– **Painted surfaces:** Use with caution; test on a small area first to prevent damage or adhesion issues.
### Size and Design
– **Size:** Measure your space to avoid overcrowding or undersizing.
– **Design:** Opt for humorous or bold graphics that match your personality and are easily visible from a distance.
### Compatibility & Material
– Oracal 651 is a permanent vinyl suitable for outdoor use but not recommended on textured or matte surfaces.
– Avoid applying on surfaces with dirt, oil, or wax for best adhesion.
## Applying the Decal
### Preparation
– Clean the application area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol.
– Ensure the surface is dry and free of debris.
### Application Process
– Peel off the decal backing carefully.
– Use application tape to position the decal exactly where you want it.
– Smooth the decal with a squeegee or credit card, working from the center outward to remove air bubbles.
– Remove the transfer tape slowly at a sharp angle.
### Tips for Success
– Work in a dust-free environment.
– Use a heat gun or hairdryer on low if decal edges lift during application.
## Removal & Maintenance
– To remove, gently peel from one corner; use heat if adhesive resists.
– For cleaning, avoid abrasive tools; clean with mild soap and water.
## Pro Tips
