## How to Choose and Apply Funny Car Vinyl Decals
Selecting the right vinyl decal and applying it correctly ensures a humorous, eye-catching addition to your vehicle that lasts. Follow these steps to choose, prepare, and install your decal with confidence.
## Choosing the Right Vinyl Decal
### Consider Compatibility
– **Vinyl Type:** Use Oracal 651 for durability and outdoor resilience.
– **Surface Compatibility:** Suitable for painted surfaces and vehicle windows; avoid textured or matte finishes.
– **Window Tint:** Decals adhere well on tinted windows, but ensure the tint is compatible with vinyl application.
### Size & Design
– **Size:** Measure your space; larger decals are more visible, but avoid covering essential features.
– **Design:** Opt for humor that complements your vehicle’s style; keep it simple for readability.
### Pro Tip:
Test a small decal first to check adhesion and appearance before committing to larger designs.
## Preparing Your Vehicle
### Surface Preparation
– Clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt, wax, and grease.
– Dry completely to prevent bubbles during application.
### Tools Needed
– Squeegee or credit card
– Masking tape
– Utility knife (for trimming)
## Applying the Vinyl Decal
### Step-by-Step
1. **Position the decal:** Use masking tape to mark placement.
2. **Peel backing:** Carefully peel the transfer tape from the decal.
3. **Apply to surface:** Use a squeegee to smooth out bubbles, working from the center outward.
4. **Remove transfer tape:** Slowly peel at a 45-degree angle, ensuring the decal stays in place.
### Pro Tips:
– Work in a dust-free environment.
– Use a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the vinyl if needed for curved surfaces.
