Flight Truck Side Decals | Custom Racing Stripes

Description

Flight truck side decals are cut vinyl graphic stripes that run along the sides of your pickup or work truck. Sold as a set in widths from 12 to 48 inches, they suit drivers who want a clean, custom racing stripes look without paint.

What Flight Truck Side Decals Include

Each order arrives as a complete set of vinyl graphic stripes sized to run the length of your truck's doors and bed panels. You choose the stripe width at checkout, from a 12-inch set that reads as a subtle accent up to a bold 48-inch layout that covers most of the side panel. The stripes are cut from solid-color cast vinyl, so the color runs through the film rather than sitting on top of a printed layer. That means no fading ink and no visible print lines when the light hits the door at an angle. The set is designed for do-it-yourself installation with a wet application method, giving you time to slide each stripe into position before it sets. Squeegee and edge tape are included so you can finish the job in a driveway with basic tools.

Finish Options for Your Custom Racing Stripes

We cut Flight truck side decals in four finishes so the stripes match the rest of your build. Matte gives a low-sheen, painted-on look that works well on flat or matte paint. Gloss matches most factory paint and reads as a painted stripe from a few feet away. Clear stripes are cut from transparent vinyl and are best over solid color panels where you want tone-on-tone texture. Static cling finishes use no adhesive at all, so they press on and peel off cleanly, which is handy if you run graphics seasonally for shows or events. All four finishes are cut from the same vinyl families we use across our shop, so the stripes you add today will match future additions if you order the same finish and color later.

Choosing the Right Width for Your Truck

Width is the biggest visual decision with side decals, and the 12 to 48 inch range covers most builds. Narrow 12 to 18 inch stripes suit trucks with body lines that break up the door and bed, since a thin stripe follows those lines without fighting them. Mid-range 24 to 30 inch sets are the most popular pick for full-size crew cabs, filling the space between the rocker panel and the beltline. Wide 36 to 48 inch layouts work best on work trucks and show builds where you want the stripe to be the main design element. Before ordering, measure the flat area on your doors and bed sides, and remember that stripes can be trimmed during installation if a panel has a curve or handle that interrupts the run.

Installing and Living with Flight Side Decals

Installation is a one-person job with patience and a spray bottle of slip solution. Clean the panels with isopropyl alcohol, mist the surface, position the stripe, and squeegee from the center outward to push water out from under the film. Warm the vinyl slightly around door handles and body creases so it conforms instead of tenting. Once set, the stripes wash normally with soap and water, and you can run them through automatic car washes with brushless systems. If a section ever lifts at an edge, a little heat and firm pressure with a squeegee flattens it back down. When you are ready for a change, warm the vinyl and peel it away, then clean off any residue with adhesive remover. Static cling finishes remove with no residue at all.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Do these stripes fit my specific truck model?

Flight side decals are universal cut-to-fit stripes, not model-specific kits. The set is trimmed during installation to work around door handles, body lines and bed panel breaks. Measure the flat area on your doors and bed sides before ordering to confirm your chosen width fits.

Which width should I choose?

It depends on the look you want. Narrow 12 to 18 inch stripes read as an accent, mid-range 24 to 30 inch sets suit most full-size trucks, and wide 36 to 48 inch layouts make the stripe the main design element. When in doubt, measure the space between your rocker panel and beltline first.

Can I remove the stripes later?

Yes. Warm the vinyl with a heat gun or hair dryer on low and peel it away slowly, then clean any residue with adhesive remover. Static cling finishes use no adhesive and peel off cleanly with no residue, which makes them a good choice for seasonal or event use.
