Car Decals

Pickup owners, semi drivers and anyone who spends long hours on the road buy car decals to put a personal stamp on their rig without spending a weekend in a body shop. Whether you want bold racing stripes down the doors, a torn American flag across the bed, or a small badge on the back window, this collection gathers our full range of car decals and sticker sets made for windows, doors and bumpers. Every order is printed on demand in the USA and ships free.

What This Collection Includes

The car decals in this collection fall into a few broad families, so you can zero in on the look you want quickly. Racing stripe sets include the Viper Spear Racing Stripes Decal Set for Trucks, the Custom Racing Stripes Truck Side Decals in the Riptide pattern, the Flight Truck Side Decals with custom racing stripes, and the Swift Flying Stripes Vinyl Truck Side Decals and Graphics. These sets run along the sides of a cab or the full length of a truck, giving a clean, flowing line that reads as speed even when you are parked.

Patriotic sets are the heart of the collection. The Red White and Blue Stars and Stripes Truck Decal Set, the Mud Splash American Flag Decal Set for Trucks and Cars, the Torn American Flag Decal Set for Trucks and Semis, and the American Flag Rip Vinyl Truck Graphics Decal Set all put a ripped or waving flag across doors, beds and trailers. Eagle themed options include the American Flag Eagle Flames Truck Decals, the Bald Eagle American Flag Decals set of 2, the Patriotic Semi Truck Decals with eagle and USA flag art, the Bald Eagle Talons American Flag Decal, and the Bald Eagle American Flag Decal Set for Semi Trucks and Trailers. Camo fans can choose between the Camo Truck Graphics Vinyl Decal Set and the Camo Tear Vinyl Decal Kit for Trucks and Trailers. For pickup beds specifically, the Truck Bed Decals cast vinyl bed stripe set and the American Flag Tear Truck Vinyl Decal Kit offer tailored fits.

All of these are printed on our stocked materials: matte vinyl, gloss vinyl, static cling and clear vinyl. Matte gives a painted-on look that blends with factory finishes, gloss adds shine and punch, clear vinyl lets the vehicle color show through open areas of the design, and static cling peels off cleanly with no adhesive at all, which makes it a favorite for cab windows. If you are browsing more broadly, our Decals Stickers page pulls together every category in one place, and the Racing Stripes page goes deeper on stripe styles and layouts.

How to Pick the Right Size for the Surface

Every decal in this collection is quoted in inches, from 12 to 48, and the size you choose should follow the surface, not the other way around. Measure the flat area you want to cover before ordering. A 12 inch decal suits a rear window corner, a toolbox lid or a bumper. Sizes in the 24 to 36 inch range fill a single cab door or the tailgate of a midsize pickup. The 48 inch sets are built for full doors, semi trailer panels and long bed stripes where you want the design to stretch edge to edge.

When you measure, account for body lines, door handles, fuel doors and trim. A decal can be trimmed during installation to skip a handle, but it is easier to plan around obstacles from the start. For stripe sets that run the length of a truck, measure from the front of the door to the rear of the bed on both sides, since many trucks are not perfectly symmetrical side to side. For trailer and semi applications, remember that corrugated panels and rivets affect how a large decal sits, so a slightly smaller size that lands between panel seams often looks cleaner than one that crosses them. If you are between two sizes, going smaller keeps the design clear of curves and gaps.

How to Fit a Large Decal

Surface prep comes first. Wash the area with warm water and dish soap, rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint free towel. Follow with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth to remove wax and road film, and let it flash off completely. Do not apply in direct hot sunlight or below about 50 degrees Fahrenheit; a shaded spot at mild temperature lets the vinyl conform without fighting you. Park out of the wind, since large decal sheets act like sails.

Position the decal with small pieces of masking tape, using a hinge of tape along one edge or down the center. Step back and check alignment from several angles before committing. Peel the backing away slowly while a helper holds the decal off the surface. Work from the center outward with a felt edged squeegee, using firm overlapping strokes. The center out method pushes air toward the edges instead of trapping it in the middle.

Air bubbles happen. Small ones usually settle out over a day or two as the vinyl relaxes. For stubborn bubbles, lift the edge nearest the bubble and squeegee the air out, or prick the bubble with a pin and press the vinyl flat with your thumb. Never slash large bubbles with a knife, as cuts can spread. On compound curves around fenders and mirror mounts, warm the vinyl gently with a hair dryer on low, stretch it slightly and hold it in place until it cools. Give the decal a final squeegee pass with the masking layer still on top to protect the printed face, then peel the application tape slowly at a sharp angle back over itself.

Care and Removal

Day to day care is simple. Wash around the decals with a soft mitt and standard car soap, and avoid aiming a pressure washer nozzle directly at the edges, since high pressure water can lift a corner. Skip harsh solvents and abrasive compounds on the printed areas. When waxing, wax up to the edge of the decal rather than over it. Static cling pieces on windows can be lifted, rinsed and repositioned at any time, which makes them handy for seasonal looks.

When it is time for a change, warm the decal with a hair dryer on low and peel it back slowly at a shallow angle, keeping the heat ahead of the peel line. Warm vinyl comes off in one piece far more often than cold vinyl, which can tear and leave fragments. Any remaining adhesive residue comes off with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Go slow, keep the surface warm, and clean the area afterward before applying your next set.

Are these car decals printed on real vinyl?

Yes. Every set is printed on our stocked materials, which are matte vinyl, gloss vinyl, static cling and clear vinyl. You choose the material at checkout, and each order is printed to order in the USA with free shipping.

Can I put these decals on windows and bumpers as well as doors?

Yes. The sets in this collection are designed for windows, doors, bumpers, beds and trailer panels. Static cling is best for glass only, while matte, gloss and clear vinyl work on painted panels and smooth bumper surfaces.

What size should I order for a truck door or tailgate?

Measure the flat area first. A 24 to 36 inch decal typically fills one cab door or a tailgate, 12 inch sizes suit bumpers and window corners, and 48 inch sets fit full doors, semi trailer panels and long bed stripes. When in doubt, choose the smaller size so the design clears handles and body lines.
