How to Add Custom Decals to a Car

Adding custom decals to your car is the cheapest way to give your exterior a very unique look. It is not as permanent or complicated as a new paint job and can be done at home in about an hour.



Step1
Wash and wax the car, then let it dry completely.


Step2
Plan out exactly where you wish to apply your custom decals on your car.


Step3
Recruit a friend or family member to help you.


Step4
Use scotch tape to place the decal approximately where you want it. This is where a helper comes in handy because car decals are usually very large and difficult to line up.


Step5
Peel off the backing on one side of the decal and being slowly sticking it to the car. Leave all of the backing on except for right where you are working.


Step6
Ask your friend to help you make sure the decal is going on straight as you slowly continue to apply it.


Step7
Place the decal directly over any cuts in the body, like door lines. Ignore them for now.


Step8
Cut the stickers at these body lines and wrap the loose part around the edges on the body line or frame.


Step9
Scrape lightly with a plastic spatula to press the bubbles out of the decal.


Step10
Remove any excess scotch tape.
