# How to Choose and Apply Funny Vinyl Car Decals
Selecting the right funny vinyl decal involves considering size, design, and placement to ensure it looks great and lasts. Proper installation and removal techniques will keep your vehicle looking sharp and damage-free.
## Choosing the Perfect Vinyl Car Decal
### Compatibility & Material
– **Use Oracal 651** for durability, weather resistance, and vibrant colors.
– **Check window/paint compatibility:** Oracal 651 is suitable for smooth, clean painted surfaces and some windows with proper prep. Avoid applying directly on tinted or textured glass.
### Design & Sizing
– **Pick a humorous design** that reflects your personality.
– **Measure your space:** Avoid overly large decals that may obstruct visibility or look disproportionate.
– **Consider placement:** Bumper, rear window, or side panels work well.
### Pro Tip:
Test your decal on a small, inconspicuous area first to check adhesion and appearance.
## Preparing for Application
### Surface Prep
– Clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt, wax, and grease.
– Ensure the surface is dry and smooth.
### Decal Preparation
– Carefully peel the decal from the backing paper.
– Use application tape for complex designs to keep elements aligned.
## Applying Your Vinyl Decal
### Step-by-Step
1. **Position the decal:** Use masking tape to hold it in place.
2. **Apply with a squeegee:** Firmly press from the center outward to remove air bubbles.
3. **Remove transfer tape:** Slowly peel back at a sharp angle, ensuring the decal adheres properly.
4. **Final check:** Smooth out any bubbles with a squeegee or credit card.
### Pro Tips:
– Apply in a dust-free, shaded area.
