Scratch Vinyl Side Decals for Cars & Trucks | Decal Sets

Description

A die-cut claw-scratch decal set for the sides of cars, trucks, and SUVs, offered in multiple widths from 12 to 48 inches. Made for drivers who want bold side graphics without paint or body work.

Claw-Scratch Graphics for Both Sides of Your Vehicle

Scratch-style side decals give a vehicle the look of claw marks dragged across the door or quarter panel: a classic accent that reads as motion even when you're parked. This set is cut from vinyl and includes graphics for both the driver and passenger sides, so the look stays balanced from curb to curb. It's made for cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and vans, and it works anywhere you have a smooth, flat exterior panel: doors, fenders, bedsides, hoods, or tailgates. Because it's a decal rather than paint, you get the visual impact without body-shop costs or permanent changes to the finish. Choose your overall width at checkout and the set is cut to that size.

Choosing Between the 12 to 48 Inch Widths

Every vehicle side is different, which is why this set is offered in multiple widths from 12 to 48 inches. Before ordering, measure the panel you want to cover (a door, bedside, or quarter panel) and note both its length and the flat area available between body lines, handles, and trim. Smaller widths suit car doors and compact crossovers; the larger sizes fill the doors and bedsides of full-size pickups. If you're between two sizes, the smaller option usually leaves a cleaner margin around edges and trim. The width you choose is the overall width of the graphic as it ships, so measure first and order the size that matches your panel.

How Each Set Is Cut, Masked, and Shipped

Each set is die-cut from vinyl film, weeded so only the scratch graphic remains, and covered with application tape before it ships. That pre-mask does two jobs: it holds the individual slices of the design in position relative to each other, and it gives you a single piece to align on the panel instead of a puzzle of loose strips. The back of each decal carries a pressure-sensitive adhesive protected by a release liner: you peel the liner, stick the masked graphic in place, squeegee it down, and pull the tape away. Nothing else is needed beyond a squeegee or similar edge and a clean surface.

Prep and Application, Step by Step

Start with a clean panel. Wash the area, then wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol to strip wax and grease, and let it dry completely, adhesive bonds to the paint, not to dirt. Hold each masked decal up to the panel and confirm placement before touching the liner; a strip of masking tape across the top can act as a hinge while you step back and check alignment. Peel the liner, lower the decal into place, and work a squeegee from the center outward to push air toward the edges. Pull the application tape back slowly at a low angle. Pick a dry day in mild temperatures, and keep the vehicle out of heavy rain while the adhesive sets.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Will these fit my specific car or truck?

These are universal cut-vinyl graphics, not model-specific pieces, so there is no fixed fitment chart. Measure the flat area where you want the decal and compare it to the 12 to 48 inch width options before ordering. Any smooth, clean exterior surface on a car, truck, SUV, or van works.

How do I choose between the widths?

Measure the panel first (door length for doors, bedside length for trucks) and pick the width that fits inside the flat area with room around handles, trim, and body lines. If you're between sizes, the smaller width is the safer choice for clean margins.

Can the decals be removed later?

Yes. Warm the vinyl with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then peel slowly at a low angle. Leftover adhesive can be cleaned off with a dedicated adhesive remover, followed by a wash and wax.
