Question 1

What’s the best way to apply my custom car decal?

Accepted Answer

First, wash your vehicle surface with mild soap and water, then let it dry. Then peel your decal off its backing and place it on your car door or side panel. Finally, start from the center of the decal and use a flat edge (like a credit card) to remove any bubbles.

Question 2

How long will my car door decal last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care and use, vehicle decals can be used for about 3 years. At that point, we strongly recommend replacing your decal, using heat to do so. See the following question for details.

Question 3

What’s the best way to take my decal off my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve used your decal for more than 2 years, we recommend you heat the surface of your car with a hair dryer (not a heat gun) before you start to take the decal off. This will help the decal come off smoothly and reduce the risk of paint damage. Just heat the decal and the surface, pull from a corner and gently pull the decal off, using extra heat if needed. If you’ve used the decal for less than 2 years, using an oil-based adhesive remover should do the trick.

Question 4

Should I match my car decal to the colour of my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve chosen a white vinyl car door decal, you can take advantage of our full-colour printing options – and we recommend that you choose a background in a different (yet complementary) colour than your vehicle. Not only does this help your decal stand out, it’s the easiest way to create a consistent look across vehicles of different colours. Just be sure to keep your messaging and design simple and clear.

Question 5

Can I put a decal on a new paint job?

Accepted Answer

No, you’ll want to wait for the paint curing process to finish. This is also the case if you’ve added a new clear coat or wax to your car. The recommended wait time is 90 days for a new coat of paint, 60 days for a clear coat and 2 days for wax.

Question 6

Can I keep my car door decal on while I wash my car?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 7

What type of adhesive is used?

Accepted Answer

Transparent polyacrylate – a removable, pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Question 8

Where should I put my car decal?

Accepted Answer

The best answer for your decal may depend on your specific vehicle. If you’re working with a larger pickup truck, you can take advantage of the size of a side door. Vans can benefit from side panel decals and back door decals – especially if you often find yourself in heavy traffic.
