FAQs

What material are your decals made from?

Our decals are made using adhesive-backed vinyl designed for decorative applications on compatible surfaces.

We offer a variety of colors and finishes depending on the design, including standard colors and select specialty vinyl options.

Material specifications may vary by product. If you have questions about a particular decal or finish, please contact us before ordering.

Are your decals waterproof and weather-resistant?

Our standard exterior-rated vinyl decals are designed to withstand normal outdoor exposure, including rain, sunlight, and routine changes in temperature.

However, no vinyl decal is completely immune to environmental wear. Longevity depends on the specific vinyl material, installation quality, surface condition, climate, and maintenance.

Specialty finishes may have different durability characteristics. We recommend checking with us before purchasing if your decal will be exposed to particularly harsh conditions.

How long do your decals last?

Decal lifespan varies depending on the material, application surface, and environmental exposure.

Properly installed decals on clean, compatible surfaces generally last longer than decals applied to contaminated, textured, or frequently handled surfaces.

For the best results, follow the installation and care recommendations provided below.

Are your decals permanent?

Our decals use pressure-sensitive adhesive intended to provide a secure bond to compatible surfaces.

Although they're commonly described as permanent adhesive vinyl, that doesn't mean they can never be removed.

Removal may be possible with careful heating and peeling, but the ease of removal depends on the material, surface, and length of installation. Adhesive residue may remain.

Can I remove a decal without damaging my paint?

Many decals can be removed from properly cured, factory-finished automotive paint without damage when appropriate removal techniques are used.

However, we cannot guarantee damage-free removal, particularly on repainted, deteriorated, chipped, peeling, or improperly cured surfaces.

Use gentle heat and remove the vinyl slowly. If you're unsure about your vehicle's finish, consult a professional installer.

Do you offer different vinyl colors?

Yes! Many of our decals are available in multiple colors and select specialty finishes.

Available options are displayed on individual product pages. If you're looking for a color that isn't listed, contact us to discuss availability.

What surfaces can your decals be installed on?

Our decals are generally best suited for clean, smooth, dry, nonporous surfaces, including:

  • Automotive glass and compatible painted body panels
  • Smooth metal surfaces
  • Certain smooth plastics
  • Laptop covers and similar hard surfaces
  • Mirrors and other smooth decorative surfaces

Compatibility depends on the surface material, finish, and condition.

We do not recommend applying standard vinyl decals to fabric, rubber, rough or heavily textured plastics, unfinished wood, or dirty and damaged surfaces.

For unusual surfaces, we recommend testing a small area or contacting us before ordering.

How do I install my vinyl decal?

For standard transfer-taped vinyl decals, follow these steps:

  1. Clean the surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and other contaminants using a cleaner appropriate for the application surface. Allow it to dry completely.
  2. Position your decal. Hold the decal against the surface and use low-tack masking tape to help align it.
  3. Prepare the transfer tape. Lay the decal flat and firmly burnish the transfer tape to help the vinyl adhere to it.
  4. Remove the backing. Slowly peel the paper liner away while ensuring the vinyl remains attached to the transfer tape.
  5. Apply the decal. Carefully position the decal and press it onto the surface, working from the center outward.
  6. Burnish thoroughly. Use a squeegee or a firm, smooth-edged application tool to press the decal onto the surface.
  7. Remove the transfer tape. Slowly peel the transfer tape back at a sharp angle, checking that all parts of the design remain attached.

Take your time, especially with intricate designs or small lettering.

Do your decals come with transfer tape?

Standard cut-vinyl decals that require transfer tape are prepared for application with transfer tape.

Some specialty products, printed graphics, or multi-part designs may have different installation requirements. Refer to the individual product listing or contact us if you have questions.

Can I wash my car after installing a decal?

We recommend allowing the adhesive time to establish a secure bond before washing your vehicle.

After installation, use gentle cleaning methods and avoid directing high-pressure water at the edges of the decal.

Automatic car washes with aggressive brushes may cause premature lifting or damage, especially on intricate designs.

Visit our Custom Requests page to tell us more about your project.

Can you recreate a decal from a reference image?

We can review reference images to determine whether a requested design is feasible.

The quality of the reference, complexity of the design, available materials, and any applicable intellectual-property restrictions may affect what we're able to produce.

Submitting an image does not guarantee that we can reproduce it exactly.

Can I request a decal in a custom size?

Yes! We may be able to produce custom sizes depending on the design and material.

Please contact us with your desired measurements before placing an order so we can review feasibility and provide pricing.

Do you offer custom vehicle liveries?

We accept inquiries for custom automotive graphics and livery projects.

Availability, design complexity, vehicle dimensions, materials, and production requirements will determine whether we can accommodate a particular request.

For larger projects, please provide as much information as possible about your vehicle and desired design.

How much do custom orders cost?

Custom order pricing depends on the design, size, materials, complexity, and any additional design work required.

We review each request individually and provide pricing before proceeding with an approved project.

Can I make changes to a custom design?

We can discuss requested adjustments during the design process.

Once a design has been approved or production has begun, additional changes may not be possible or may require additional charges.

Any applicable revision terms will be communicated during the custom-order process.

How long does it take to process an order?

Processing times may vary depending on the products ordered, order volume, and whether the item requires custom production.

Processing time is separate from shipping transit time.

Please refer to the product listing and our Shipping Policy for the most relevant information.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times depend on the destination, selected shipping service, and carrier conditions.

Delivery estimates are not guarantees. Weather, customs processing, transportation disruptions, and other carrier-related factors can affect delivery.

Why hasn't my tracking information updated?

Tracking updates are controlled by the shipping carrier.

USPS, DHL, and other carriers may occasionally experience delayed scans, periods without tracking movement, or updates that appear after a package has already progressed through the shipping network.

A temporary lack of tracking updates does not necessarily mean a package has been lost.

If you need additional information about a shipment already in transit, we recommend contacting the carrier directly with your tracking number.
