What size vinyl decal should I order? The most common size for a sports decal on the back glass is 7 inches wide and 7 or 8 inches tall depending on the text options selected. Use a tape measure to estimate the width and height you would like for your decal. All decals are measured by the width of the decal and are not measured by the height of the individual letters. If you are ordering a windshield decal, please make sure the decal will fit on your vehicle before ordering. Back to top

	If I remove my vinyl decal, will it damage my paint or clear coat? Vinyl decals will not permanently damage painted surfaces or windows. Since the decal shields the surface under the decal from sunlight, decals left on for extended periods of time can leave an unfaded area under the decal once removed. To prevent this, keep your car waxed to prevent the paint from fading. Back to top

	What may reduce vinyl to last a shorter time? Submerged graphics. If your graphics are installed on a boat below the waterline, life expectancy is just 5 years. In salt water, below the water line is not recommended. Harsh chemicals and detergents can cause damage. This includes 'wax buildup'. For instance, if you wax your graphic,lettering, etc.. and leave wax along the edges, some waxes when wet can 'eat' at the edges causing damage over time. Also, just as some chemicals can cause wear on paint or plastic - they can also cause the same to the vinyl. A good rule of thumb is: If it can hurt the surface your vinyl is applied to, it can hurt the vinyl. So, as an example, lacquer thinner, acid rain, etc.. WILL damage the vinyl just as it will the paint of a car. Back to top
	Can the vinyl be used on painted walls? Yes. Wall application is very trendy now. Just keep in mind to make sure the surface is clean and oil free. Also, it may take more than the standard 3 days for the vinyl to fully adhere after installed. Possibly up to 30 days. This does not mean the decals and/or lettering will peel off on it's own during the 'curing' period. But kids (and others) might easily pick it off until it adheres fully. Back to top
	My decal keeps sticking to the paper backing. What should I do? This happens because of high humidity. But it can be fixed. Lay the graphic on a table with the paper on the bottom, the pre-mask on the top, re-squeegee the pre mask. Then start back with step #1, it should work now. If it went through very high humidity the wax paper can tear and stick to the vinyl but not to the pre mask. If this happens, it takes a delicate touch using a knife/razor blade/finger nail (or whatever you have handy) to slide between the paper and graphic where it has torn. This is rare, but it has happened. If it messes up, let us know, and we'll send another one out. Back to top

	I want to send you a design I created. What file format should I send? We can 'handle' just about any graphic file format. But, please, no .doc files. Word documents are highly dependant on outside files and are version sensitive. To at least make sure we are all on the 'same page', try sending as a .jpg , .gif , .bmp , .tif and we will be able to view the graphics. If unfamiliar with these formats, here's a trick that may work: open the file in word, press 'print scrn' on your keyboard. Open the 'paint' program and edit paste then save as a .bmp. This is not the best way, but it will work fine to get us started. However, these graphic files are only for viewing. They are in raster formats (bunch of dots) and can not be 'scaled'. So a hand redraw would be needed :(. The best file formats are .ai, .eps, .png, .cdr, These can be saved to include vector graphics (compared to raster or dot graphics). If your artwork can be remade in a vector format, it will save MUCH money on a redraw. Please don't just open a raster file and re save as in a vector format. We wish it was that easy :) You would just have a raster file saved in a vector format :( If you want to do the redraw yourself, there are several free 'trace' programs out there. 'Trace' programs convert from raster to vector. After the conversion, depending on the original quality, much 'cleanup' or redrawing could be needed. Hope not. It's best to start with the highest quality image. If you have any questions let us know. Back to top
