-Will the decals harm the painted surface of my car? The vinyl will not harm the surface of your car. This is the same material that is used for truck lettering, & commercial signage. The decal protects the finish of the vehicle's paint or glass surface. If decals are left on the vehicle for long periods of time (more than 5 years outdoor exposure), the exposed paint on the vehicle will fade slightly, while the paint under the decal will not. This may cause a shadow effect once the decal is removed. Avoid this by maintaining the paint on your vehicle with wax!
The standard vinyl we use is rated to 5yrs for Black/White 5yrs for colors and 4 yrs for Mettalics. There are a number of factors that will change the life expectancy of your decal such as, poor application, indoors v's outdoors, exposed to the sun or in the shade. All these factors will have an effect on the total life - some decals may last for 20 years given the perfect conditions. Some decorative vinyls such as Chrome / Carbon Fiber / Holographic's have a much shorter life expectancy.
Wax over the decals when possible, and if installing a decal on a vehicle window, be careful when using an ice scraper in the winter! Do not directly spray with high pressure water.
-Where can the graphics and decals be installed? These vinyl decals can be installed on almost any smooth, non-porous wax free surface. This includes glass, Plexiglas, painted surfaces, fiberglass, plastics, ice chests, refrigerators, toilets, mailboxes, Etc.
Vinyl graphics and decals are easy to remove. Try to pull the vinyl that is closest to the surface. Once the vinyl is removed, use thinners to remove any glue residue.
-How do I remove air bubbles after installation? The bubble effect can happen when large graphics are applied. Once the decals have been applied, you might find that you have small air bubbles between the decal and the vehicle surface. Most smaller bubbles will disappear within a few weeks, larger bubbles can be removed by poking a pin through the surface and smoothing out the air with your fingers or squeegee.
