Explorer Tailgate Decal Pair | Ford Bronco Decal Kit Style

Description

A two-piece matte Vinyl Decal set sized for SUV tailgates, cut to order in your choice of 4, 8, 12 or 18 inch heights. Made for owners who want a clean, custom look without permanent paint work.

Tailgate Decal Pair Built for Explorer Owners

This decal pair is cut with SUV tailgates in mind, sized to sit evenly on either side of the rear hatch or liftgate glass. Each order includes two matching decals so the rear of your vehicle reads as a matched set rather than a single sticker placed off-center. The lettering is precision-cut from Cast Vinyl with a matte face, so it blends in with textured plastic trim and factory paint instead of standing out with a shiny, stickered-on look. Because the pair is sold in four heights, you can go subtle with a 4 inch set, fill the space below the glass with 8 or 12 inches, or run an 18 inch pair as the main statement on the tailgate. It is a simple weekend project with painter's tape, a squeegee and about thirty minutes of patience.

Matte, Gloss, Clear and Cling Finish Options

Every pair is printed and cut in-house, and you choose the finish before checkout. Matte is the most popular pick for tailgate applications because it matches the flat texture of most rear trim panels and hides small surface imperfections. Gloss gives a painted-on look on smooth, clean paint. Clear vinyl is printed so the design sits on a transparent carrier, letting your body color show through open areas of the artwork. Static cling uses no adhesive at all, so it peels off cleanly when you want a temporary look or plan to remove it before a trade-in. Whichever finish you pick, the vinyl is cut from cast material that conforms to gentle curves and won't fight you during installation the way thicker calendered films can.

How to Apply Your Decal Pair in Four Steps

Start by washing the tailgate with dish soap and water, then wiping the exact application area with isopropyl alcohol to remove wax and residue. Let the surface dry fully. Hold each decal in place with a strip of painter's tape across the top to create a hinge, step back, and check that both pieces sit level and evenly spaced. Peel the backing, squeegee from the center outward with firm, overlapping strokes, and pull the transfer tape back on itself at a low angle. Avoid applying in direct sun or below about 60 degrees Fahrenheit; a warm garage or shaded driveway works best. Wait 24 to 48 hours before pressure washing the area so the adhesive fully bonds to the surface.

Pairing With Your Ford Bronco Decal Kit Collection

If you are building a full custom look, this tailgate pair coordinates with the rest of our SUV decal collection, including side stripes, hood accents and window lettering in matching finishes. Order the same finish across pieces for a uniform appearance, or mix matte body decals with gloss accents for contrast. Each set ships with illustrated instructions and a test swatch so you can confirm the finish and color before committing to the full application. Because every pair is cut after you order, size and finish changes are simple if you message us before the decals go to the cutter. All sets are packed with a protective liner and shipped flat in a rigid mailer to prevent creasing in transit.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I choose for my tailgate?

A 4 inch pair works well for small accents near the glass, 8 and 12 inch heights are common for the space below the rear window, and 18 inch decals suit owners who want the pair to be the main focal point. Measure the flat area you want to cover before ordering, since trim lines and Graphic vary between model years.

Will the decals damage my paint when removed?

Applied to factory paint in good condition, the vinyl removes without leaving adhesive residue. Warm the decal with a hair dryer on low and peel it back slowly at a shallow angle, then clean any leftover adhesive with isopropyl alcohol. Static cling versions remove instantly with no adhesive at all.

Can I put these on textured plastic trim?

Matte finish adheres best to textured tailgate trim because it visually blends with the surface texture. On heavily textured plastic, firm squeegee pressure during application helps the vinyl conform. Smooth painted areas accept any of the four finishes.
