Decaling a RC car is an easy and fun project that can really make your RC car look like a professional racer. Decals are available in many different shapes and sizes, so you can customize your look to suit your taste. There are a few simple steps to follow when decaling your RC car, and with just a little bit of time and effort, you can have a stunningly customized ride.
STEP 1: PREPARATION
The first step is to prepare the surface of the RC car for decal application. Start by cleaning the body of the car with a cloth and mild soap, making sure to remove all dirt, grime, or residue.
It’s important to make sure that the surface is completely clean before applying any decals. Once your surface is clean, let it dry completely before continuing.
STEP 2: MEASURE AND CUT
Next, measure the area where you will be applying your decal. This will help you determine how much of the decal you need to cut out and what size it should be. You can use scissors or an exacto knife to cut out the desired size of your decal.
STEP 3: APPLY DECAL
Once you have measured and cut out your decal, it’s time for application. Start by peeling off the backing from one side of the decal then carefully place it onto your cleaned surface. Use a credit card or something similar to firmly press down on top of the decal so that it adheres securely.
STEP 4: SEAL DECAL
Finally, once all of your decals are applied securely, it’s important to seal them in order to protect them from fading or peeling off over time. You can purchase sealant specifically made for this purpose or simply use some clear nail polish as a makeshift sealer. Allow this sealant/polish to dry completely before taking your RC car out for a spin.
Decaling an RC car may seem intimidating at first but with just four simple steps — preparation, measurement/cutting, application, and sealing — anyone can have their own customized ride in no time! With some patience and creativity, you can make any RC car look like its ready for the racetrack.
