Chevrolet & GMC Decals

A Silverado tailgate with a peeling factory bowtie, a Sierra door that lost its OEM lettering, a toolbox that needs a GMC mark before the next job site: these are the jobs this collection covers. Every decal here is cut for Chevrolet and GMC body panels, so the widths and shapes match real truck surfaces rather than generic blanks. Most designs are available in cast vinyl for curved areas like fenders and fuel doors, and calendered vinyl for flat tailgates, toolboxes and windows. Choose gloss for a factory-badge look, matte for a debossed feel, or clear finishes for a subtle mark on glass and painted panels.

What Fits This Collection

This collection covers Chevrolet and GMC cars, trucks and SUVs: Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, Canyon, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Blazer and Trailblazer, plus classic Chevy cars where noted on the product page. You will find bowtie logos, GMC marks, model name lettering, engine and trim callouts such as Z71, Duramax and Denali-style designs, and full graphic panels.

The audience is broad on purpose. Daily drivers usually want a small badge replacement or a single door decal. Show and weekend trucks lean toward larger tailgate or bed-side graphics. If your panel is a Ford or Dodge product instead, the parent Car & Truck Decals category has those brands.

Choosing Vinyl for Chevrolet & GMC Decals

Two vinyl families matter here, and the difference is real. Calendered vinyl is about 6 mils thick, holds flat surfaces well, and is the standard choice for tailgates, toolboxes, windows and rocker panels. Cast vinyl is thinner and conforms to compound curves, so it is the better pick for fenders, fuel doors, bumper corners and mirror caps.

Finish options include matte, gloss, clear and static cling. A gloss or matte overlaminate adds protection against fading and abrasion, which matters on bed sides that take gravel spray. Clear finishes suit glass and painted panels where the mark should stay subtle. Static cling works well for temporary placement on windows, since it peels off without adhesive residue.

Many larger graphics ship on an air-release liner, which lets you push trapped air out with a finger instead of lifting and repositioning the decal.

Getting the Size Right for Chevrolet & GMC Decals

Measure the panel before ordering, not after. Common working numbers:

• Bowtie badge replacements: 3 to 4 inches wide for tailgate center placement on full-size trucks.
• Door decals and model lettering: 6 to 12 inches wide, positioned on the upper door or rear quarter.
• Rocker panel and bed-side graphics: 24 to 60 inches wide depending on cab and bed length.
• Tailgate full-width graphics: 48 to 60 inches for short beds, up to 72 inches for full-size long beds.
• Toolbox and window decals: 4 to 8 inches keeps them legible without crowding.

Leave at least 1 inch of clearance from body lines, handle recesses and badging so edges do not sit on a curve. On tailgates, check the backup camera and handle cutout placement before committing to a wide graphic. Two-door versus four-door trucks change available door real estate, so compare against your own panel, not a product photo from a different cab configuration.

How to Install and Maintain Chevrolet & GMC Decals

Step 1. Wash the panel with dish soap and water, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Skip wax removers that leave silicone residue.

Step 2. Work above 60 F. Cold vinyl stiffens and will not conform; in winter, warm the panel and the decal with a hair dryer or heat gun on low.

Step 3. Position with masking tape hinges, one strip along the top edge. Step back and check alignment against body lines before removing the liner.

Step 4. Peel the backing and apply with a felt-edge squeegee from the center outward. On air-release liners, work bubbles toward the nearest edge rather than forcing them down.

Step 5. For curved areas, heat lightly and stretch cast vinyl around the curve, then re-squeegee. Remove application tape by pulling back on itself at 180 degrees.

Care. Wait 48 hours before washing. Hand wash or use a touch-free wash; brush tunnels catch decal edges. Avoid pressure washing directly at edges within 2 inches. Reapply wax around, not over, matte finishes, which can develop gloss spots.

Buying Guide for Chevrolet & GMC Decals

A short decision list, in order:

• Flat panel or curve? Flat means calendered vinyl. Any curve means cast vinyl.
• Badge replacement or statement graphic? Small badge, 3 to 4 inches. Statement, 24 inches and up.
• Gloss, matte or clear? Gloss for factory look, matte for subtle, clear for glass and painted panels.
• Outdoor life? Add an overlaminate if the truck lives outside or sees gravel roads.
• Multiple vehicles? Check Bulk & Wholesale Stickers for volume pricing before buying singles.

If the panel or model is unusual, measure twice and compare against the listed dimensions before checkout. Widths are cut dimensions, not installed visual estimates.

Frequently asked questions

Will these decals match my factory Chevrolet or GMC badges?

Many bowtie and GMC mark decals are sized to replace missing or damaged factory badging, and gloss finish reads closest to OEM. Check the listed width against your current badge before ordering. Colors are matched to common factory palettes, but exact paint-to-badge matches vary by model year, so compare in daylight if the match matters to you.

Which vinyl should I pick for a curved fender or fuel door?

Use cast vinyl. Cast film is thinner and stretches with low heat, so it wraps compound curves without lifting at the edges. Calendered vinyl is stiffer and belongs on flat panels. If a product page lists both options, choose cast for anything that curves more than a gentle body line.

Can I install these in cold weather?

Yes, but with preparation. Vinyl should be applied above 60 F, panel and material both. In colder months, work in a garage, warm the surface with a hair dryer, and keep the decal indoors until the moment of installation. Post-install, keep the vehicle above freezing for 48 hours so the adhesive fully sets.

Will a decal damage my paint when I remove it?

On original factory paint in good condition, removal is typically clean. Warm the decal with a hair dryer and peel slowly at a low angle, then remove residue with isopropyl alcohol. Risk rises on repainted panels, fresh paint under 60 days, or decals left on for many years in strong sun. Test a corner first if your paint is repainted or questionable.

Do you offer these in bulk for a fleet of work trucks?

Single units are sold here, but fleet buyers can use the Bulk & Wholesale Stickers collection for volume pricing on repeated designs. Matte or gloss door decals with company lettering can also be built through Custom Stickers if you need your business name alongside the vehicle graphic.

How long do these decals last outdoors?

Outdoor life depends on vinyl type, climate and care. Calendered and cast films are both stocked options, and an overlaminate can be added for extra thickness and surface coverage. Trucks parked inside, hand washed, and kept away from pressure washers at the edges will generally look better for longer.
