Camaro Racing Stripes Tailgate Lettering Decal Set 4-18in

Description

A matte Cast Vinyl lettering set for truck tailgates, sized from 4 to 18 inches. Made for owners who want clean, low-shine lettering that reads well up close and from a distance.

Matte Lettering That Complements Camaro Racing Stripes

If your build already runs Camaro racing stripes, a gloss tailgate Graphic can clash with the rest of the theme. This lettering set is printed on matte Cast Vinyl, so it sits flat against the paint with a soft, non-High-Visibility surface that photographs cleanly and blends with stripe work. The matte finish also hides minor surface texture better than a shine-heavy material, which matters on textured tailgate panels and bed caps. Each letter is individually cut, so you can space the set to match your own layout instead of working around a one-piece Graphic. It is a straightforward way to tie the back of the truck into the same visual language as the stripe package on the doors and hood.

Four Decal Sizes for Different Tailgate Layouts

The set is offered in 4, 8, 12 and 18 inch decal sizes, measured across the lettering. The smaller sizes suit owners who want a subtle Graphic-style placement near the handle or lower corner, while the 12 and 18 inch options fill the width of a standard tailgate panel for a bolder read. Because the lettering is cut rather than printed on a background sheet, the size you choose is the size of the actual letters, not the sheet they arrive on. If you are pairing the set with other graphics, lay out the spacing dry before peeling any backing paper so you can confirm the proportions against your stripes and existing Graphic.

Applying the Lettering Step by Step

Start with a clean, dry, wax-free tailgate surface; wash and wipe the area with isopropyl alcohol and let it fully dry. Position the set with small strips of masking tape as a hinge, then peel the backing away slowly while holding the transfer tape taut. Squeegee from the center of each letter outward to push air toward the edges, working one letter at a time on the larger sizes. Warm the vinyl slightly with a hair dryer on cool mornings so it conforms around body lines and handle recesses. Peel the transfer tape back at a low angle, against itself, rather than pulling straight up. Avoid washing the truck for the first 48 hours so the adhesive bonds fully.

Care, Removal and Ordering Details

For everyday care, wash around the lettering with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or wash mitt; skip pressure washing directly at the edges and avoid waxes with heavy solvents. When you are ready for a change, warm each letter with a hair dryer and peel it back slowly at a low angle; any remaining adhesive generally lifts with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber towel. Each set ships with the lettering on transfer tape plus a printed application guide. Orders are printed after you choose your size, so double-check your selection at checkout. If you are matching this set to Camaro racing stripes elsewhere on the truck, order the size closest to your stripe width for the most consistent look.

Frequently asked questions

How do I pick the right decal size?

Measure the width of the area where you want the lettering, then compare it to the 4, 8, 12 and 18 inch options. The 12 and 18 inch sizes fill most full-width tailgate placements, while the smaller sizes work near the handle or in a corner.

Will the matte finish match my stripe kit?

Matte lettering pairs naturally with matte and low-sheen graphics. If your stripes are gloss, the lettering will still read cleanly, but the surface sheen will differ slightly. We also offer gloss, clear and static cling finishes if you prefer a different look.

Can I reposition the letters during application?

The vinyl can be lifted and repositioned briefly if it has not been pressed down firmly. Once squeegeed and left to bond, moving the letters risks stretching them, so take time with dry-fit placement first.
