| Measuring for custom decals is simple. Using a tape measure or yard stick, estimate the total width (left to right) and height (up and down) for your desired decal (total size, not size of individual letters). All of our decals are separated by scale (square, rectangular, or windshield) Remember for windshield decals, most cars will fit a 4" x 40" decal. | When choosing a color for a decal which is to be installed on a car window, keep in mind that the window is naturally dark, so that decals are not visible when done in dark colors (black, dk blue, dk green). We suggest silver, white yellow or gold colors which might accent the vehicle's other areas (wheels, interior, etc.) |

equipment supplier who we use and recommend is at the following address:
www.chesapeakegraphics.com There are two basic options: A. Invest in a signmaking system. Purchase a cutter, software, computer, vinyl, tape, scanner & other necessities. Then once you learn the software, you need to build a library of predesigned logos. For example, the 1500+ logos we have on our system were each scanned and cleaned separately, then resized to cut. Most shops like ourselves do not offer any of our designs for sale. B. Become a wholesale dealer This saves the initial startup and maintenance costs on the equipment. We custom make one-of-a-kind decals and ship to our wholesale dealers everyday! We offer same day shipping, and credit card billing. Most of our dealers set up display boards at their shops and have examples of some of the popular decals to show potential customers. |
| RACING STRIPES: | |
| What should I know about the Racing Stripes? | Can I see Racing Stripes / Decals on my vehicle before I decide to purchase? |
| All Racing Stripes created by our company are made from High Performance
Cast Vinyl, which is durable, yet will last on the vehicle for years to come.
The stripes are created in 57" - 60" sections which each fit a section of the
vehicle (hood, roof, trunk). Each set of racing stripes is made to the customer's
specifications. We do not suggest any particular size stripe kit for a specific
car. We stongly recommend that first time vinyl graphic installers seek professional help prior and during installation. We also reccommend that stripes are not installed on fresh paint. We suggest waiting up to 45 days prior to installing decals on new paint. |
Unless you can furnish us a good color photo of the exact model car, we can not show you what the decal will look like on the vehicle. We suggest looking at other vehicles on the website to judge spacing and sizing. A measuring tape can be held to the vehicle and sizes and scale can be estimated from that. |
| How do I measure for stripes? | |
| The insure proper length stripes, measure the total length needed. This is accomplished by measuring the hood, roof, and trunk (allowing a minumim of 24" extra for bumpers). This total (between 110" and 190") is the length needed. Next, using a tape measure, estimate the width you would prefer for your vehicle (between one 6" stripe and two 10" stripes) as outlined on the racing stripes page.. | |
| DECAL REMOVAL: | |
| How do I remove vinyl decals? | Will vinyl graphics damage paint or windows? |
| Vinyl graphics and decals can be easily removed. SImply heat the decal with a heat gun, hairdryer. Then using your fingernail, lift the edge of the decal and work across the surface of the decal. Averheating the decal will result in more difficult removal, as will not enough heat. Once the vinyl is removed, use PREPSOL or thinners to remove any glue residue. | Vinyl graphics or lettering will not premanently damage painted surfaces or windows. Long term effects of vinyl on painted surfaces and windows is that the paint or window tint under the decal area will not fade at the same rate as the rest of the car. Therefore an imageof the deal or lettering may be left once the decal is removed. |
