Torn Edge Tailgate Decal Set | Matte or Gloss Vinyl

Description

A torn-style Torn Edge tailgate decal set, cut from cast vinyl in your choice of matte or gloss finish. Made for truck owners who want a bold, layered look on the back gate.

A Torn Edge Tailgate Decal That Reads Like Torn Steel

This tailgate decal set creates the illusion of your truck's tailgate ripping open to reveal a Torn Edge design underneath. The torn edges are precision cut so the ripped strips line up with the panel lines of a standard tailgate, giving the graphic a layered, dimensional look without any actual texture. Each set includes the torn strips and the Torn Edge layer, so you can position the pieces together for the full effect. Choose a matte finish for a low-profile, painted-on look, or gloss for a finish that catches the light like fresh paint. Every set is printed and cut to order in our shop on cast vinyl built to conform to the slight texture and curves of a tailgate panel.

Pick Your Size From 12 to 48 Inches Wide

One size does not fit every build, so this decal set is offered in widths from 12 inches up to 48 inches. The smaller sizes work well on compact tailgates, toolboxes, or as a subtle accent on a bed panel. The mid-range sizes are the most popular choice for full-size tailgates, filling the space between the taillights without covering the handle. The largest widths make a statement across a wide gate or a flat bed cover. When measuring, use the flat width of the area you want to cover and keep a little clearance on each side. If you are between sizes, going slightly smaller keeps the torn edges from wrapping into corners where they are harder to apply.

Cast Vinyl, Cut and Printed in Our Shop

We print and cut every order in-house on cast vinyl rather than handing you a mass-produced sheet from a warehouse. Cast vinyl is thinner and more flexible than calendered vinyl, which helps it lay down smoothly over the gentle contours and texture found on most tailgates. The inks are outdoor-grade and laminated for protection against sun, rain, and road grime. Application is a wet or dry install with transfer tape: clean the surface, position the decal, squeegee it down, and peel the carrier. Full step-by-step instructions ship with every set. If you make a mistake during placement, the cast vinyl can be carefully lifted and repositioned before you final squeegee.

Tailgate Decals Built for Daily-Driver Trucks

A tailgate takes more abuse than almost any other panel on a truck: sun, car washes, snow, salt spray, and the occasional grocery bag dragged across it. This set is made to handle that reality. The lamination layer protects the printed Torn Edge from abrasion and washing, and the adhesive holds through weather without attacking your paint. When the day comes that you want to remove it, warm the decal with a hair dryer or heat gun on low and peel it away in one piece, then clean off any adhesive residue with isopropyl alcohol. It comes off clean, so you can swap in a new design or return the tailgate to stock whenever you like.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I order for a full-size truck tailgate?

Most full-size tailgates look best with a decal in the 30 to 40 inch range, depending on how much of the gate you want to fill. Measure the flat area between the taillights and leave a little clearance on each side before choosing your width.

Will this damage my paint when I remove it?

No. Warm the decal with a hair dryer or heat gun on low and peel slowly. It should come off in one piece, and any leftover adhesive can be wiped away with isopropyl alcohol. We recommend applying to factory paint or clear coat in good condition.

Can I put this on a surface other than my tailgate?

Yes. The set works on any smooth, flat or gently curved surface such as a bed panel, toolbox, or window. Avoid applying to textured plastics or heavily curved areas, since the torn edges need a flat area to lay down cleanly.
