Vinyl Vehicle Graphics FAQ
What are vehicle graphics and boat graphics?
They are vinyl decals, or stickers as some might call them. Permanaent adhesive machine die-cut vinyl decals that can be applied to a smooth surface such as a glass window, painted surface such as a vehicle body, or many other surfaces. Please see the application instructions page as it shows the product being applied in videos and pictures. This can give you a clear understanding of exactly what you are ordering. Also see the customers rides section of the site to see many of the creative uses for the vinyl decals and vehicle graphics from our customer sent in pictures.
Why apply vinyl graphics to my ride?
Why put Vinyl Graphics on your vehicle compared to painting the designs on? Well, for most the answer is easy. Vinyl offers a durable yet changeable solution. Do you get tired of looking at the same car or truck day in a day out. Then this might be a great solution for you! With the ability to change the look of you vehicle quickly and easily you can also switch the design as often as you want. We offer 1000's of designs and many color combinations to choose from. Vinyl graphics are also very affordable compared to painting the design on. Usually a pair of flames, for example, will cost anywhere from 30 to 80 dollars for the set. As for paint, the cost will usually be much, much more. Durability of the graphics varies. Usually one can expect a 3 to 6 year life or longer.

Are vinyl graphics easy to apply?
I'm not gonna lie. It is easy when applying to a flat or slightly contoured surface but if your crossing a side molding or applying to a rounded surface it may be difficult and require a lot of patience. Of course the larger you go then it may be a little harder. In general most people use the wet method and the graphics are easy to apply. TIP: Large graphics. Tape to surface firmly, then cut into sections if possible, ie front cab, door section, etc. Then apply each section using our halff and half method.
See our decal application instructions page for two application methods, including our half and half method, and videos.
Are vinyl graphics easy to remove?
Removing can sometimes take more time than applying the graphics. Peel slowly as not to remove any paint (very rare) and if it leaves some glue you can remove it with adhesive and glue remover sold at most autoparts store and even Walmart. You also may try heating the graphic a little with a heat gun. Be careful, heat guns get really hot and could damage the surface if to much heat is applied.
Will it remove paint?
If you have an aftermarket paint job and they didn't prep/sand the surface well before painting then yes, it could possibly remove the paint. To prevent this you may want to heat the graphic a little and peel super slowly at a sharp angle in the other direction. You shouldn't have to worry about a factory paint job but I would still use caution when removing.
How much does vinyl graphics cost?
- 6 inches wide or less between 2.5 - $4 per foot for the lenght of the graphics.
- 7-13 inches wide aproximately $5 per foot.
- 14-22 inches wide aproximately $7.50 per foot.
Buying a pair or just one graphic affects the price slightly. All prices are calulated automatically when you choose a graphic and set your size.
How long does vinyl graphics last?
Most vinyl we use is rated at 6 years outdoor. Currently we have a large inventory of Oracal 651 series 6-year but also use the 951 series metallics which also have the same rating. Most vehicle graphics will last this long or more but weather conditions, direct sunlight, user care, and many other variables can affect the life of vinyl graphics either way. Personally I have seen vehicle graphics, even on boats used in salt water, last anywhere from a couple years to ten years and more on occasions. It all depends on many variables. Read about some of the variables that affect decal lifespan in our main FAQ.
Is there a warranty for vinyl graphics?
All graphics are made for you in the color you choose at time of purchase so there is no warranty or returns allowed. All vinyl vehicle graphics are tested and inspected before shipment. Please see our feedback. We very, very rarely have anyone with a problem regarding our vinyl vehical graphics. Care is to be heeded when applying, especially with larger vinyl graphics. The larger the graphic, generally the more difficult and time consuming it will be to apply. But have patience, for once they are applied, you'll have a unique ride that stands out from the rest for years to come!
What if I mess them up my vinyl graphics while applying them?
I save all orders for a period of at least a few months. This way I can resell you any part or piece of the graphics. If you mess up applying a section, don't worry. You can simply buy the section you messed up. I usually help out, and offer huge discounts in any case. My policy in honesty first, and to treat others as I would like to be treated, as if the circumstances were reveresed.
Will it fit my ride?
I highly recommend measuring your area. This part of the site, as well as the application is self service, although I can help with recommendations if given the information needed. Vinyl graphics can usually fit most vehicles but this is entirely up to you to determine. Not everyone is a "do it yourselfer" so if you don't feel comfortable buying graphics online you could most likely take your vehicle to someone that has a shop and installs the graphics they sell - just be prepared to pay, and sometimes pay a lot.There are no refunds or exchanges due to the wrong size.
Need a mock-up? Yes. I can help with that. In some instances a client would prefer to see how the graphics look before buying. Contact me. Provide an image of the side view of the boat, truck, car, or vehicle application area. I will also need a measurement of a specific area, such as the door. This is so I can put the mock-up to scale in my computer.
How long have you been making vehicle graphics and decals?
We been making GRAFIX for over 10 years now, going on twenty! We know many tricks and tips, like rounding slightly all pointy corners of the graphics. We make sure you get a great product! All vinyl is 6-year Oracal 651 series, unless noted. We pack carefully and wrap the vinyl vehicle graphics around a six inch inflated balloon and pack in bubble wrap. Decals within are placed inside on a plastic bag, come with instructions, and various FREE sample decals you can use to test, then we ship, worldwide, using USPS.
Is this a good deal?
I would say YES. You will find our price lower than many graphic shops. But, I always advise you to check around. Competition makes the world go around. I am not here to compete to the point I cannot make a profit, and I don't examine the prices of others. Likely we are not the cheapest, and for good reason. Try us and you will see why. When you want only the best... FULL INTENSITY GRAF!
We pride ourselves in our product and every aspect of it's creation, our communication, and customer service. Every detail of our service is given the utmost attention and is continually being perfected with each passing day.
