How to Customize Car Decals

Car decals can add a personal touch to your ride and give it added personality. Decals are especially good if you're not the painting sort but you still want to be able to customize the look of your car. All you need is paper and a pencil to make your design. And once you have the design idea drawn up, you can get it made by a custom car decal company.

Things You'll Need

  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Internet access
  • Brainstorm car decal ideas. Whether you use decals you've seen on other people's cars, sitting in a shop window or straight out of your own imagination doesn't matter. Make sketches of the ideas, along with rough dimensions so that you know the size of the decal. Let yourself play with the possibilities; this is where you're generating ideas for your custom decal.

  • Narrow your ideas, trimming them down to a few and then to a single decal idea. It's important that your final decal idea at the end of this step be what you want for your car. You should have dimensions of the decal, and an idea of where the placement will be on your car.

  • Find a custom decal maker for cars. Some good places to begin your search online are eDecals, Custom Online Designs and Decal Driveway. Choose a custom decal maker who can work with the design that you've provided.
