The Easy Way to Apply Vinyl Decals to Your Vehicle

Car decals have become one of the most popular ways to customise the look of your car. People have been using car decals for a number of reasons over the years. Some use it to match their cars to their personal aesthetics, some use them to signify racing achievements with race stripes, and some even use them as a marketing tool by using decals to brand company cars.

Decals even have a place in pop culture, being heavily featured in many different racing games and movies over the years.

Getting vehicle graphics in real life is an inexpensive and easy process. In fact, you could even apply them yourselves if you know the right way to do it.

Clean Up Your Car

The first thing you’ll need to do is begin cleaning your car’s surfaces where you plan on applying the decals. Decals often don’t stick correctly on cars that have an unclean surface.

You’ll want to clean and polish your car inside and then apply the decals. If your car’s surface has dust particles, there’s a pretty strong possibility that the vinyl stickers will soon start peeling off of your car.

Positioning is Key

To get a professional looking decal, you’ll need to have the decal positioned perfectly.

Nothing is more annoying than off-centre vehicle stickers. Incorrectly positioning decals that are leaning in an awkward direction will completely ruin the look of your car and can even be uncomfortable to look at for some.

What you should ideally do is apply the decal slowly without removing the full back cover of the sticker. Apply the sticker slowly by sticking a small bit in the correct position then slowly pull off the back layer until the whole decal is stuck.

Scrape and Even

Once you have the whole sticker applied, you should get out your credit card and begin smoothing out any bubbles or bumps that might be there. Afterwards, give it light heat treatment to ensure the decals are stuck in place and don’t start peeling.

Car and van decals are a great way to express individualism. For anyone looking to add some personal flair through car and caravan graphics in the UK, contact the experts at Bolsover Design. They’ll cater to all your motorhome graphics needs.
