How to Choose a Color for your Decal

Below are some guides to help you properly decide on what type of decal you need to purchase. It will also help those who are not familiar with how die-cut decals work.

Basic Single Color Decal

See Color Chart A for colors available for this style of decal.

Decals shown installed on different colored surfaces

These surface colors are NOT part of the decal.

White Surface	Clouds	Wood
			In this row the color choice is Black. The decal consists of ONLY the black part in the image. The different colored backgrounds are NOT part of the decal. Notice that the background shows through the white parts of the design.
			In this row the color choice is Green. The decal consists of ONLY the green part in the image. The different colored backgrounds are NOT part of the decal. Notice that the background shows through the white parts of the design.

If you are unfamiliar with how a die-cut decal without a background works or is installed you may want to see the installation page for a visual for better understanding.

Choosing a 2nd Color (Optional)

See Color Chart A for colors available for this style of decal.

2 Color Decal Option

More information at Outlines and Shadows page to make sure you choose the proper 2 COLOR option. Once you have decided on the option you want you will need to pick the 2 colors you want.

	In the image on the above, the first color chosen was red (STEP 2).
	Then you choose the type of 2 color option you want (Shadow, Contour, etc.)
	Finally you pick the color you want for that option. In the image to the left Black was the second color chosen (STEP 5).

Full Color Pattern Print Decal

See Color Chart B for colors available for this style of decal.
Please read THOROUGHLY BEFORE you order a Full Color Pattern Fill decal. There are literally millions of color/pattern combinations you can make for each decal. Following the directions below will make this as trouble fee as possible. When you order a printed decal the process is different than ordering a single color (or two color) die-cut decal. Go to the order form that shows the DESIGN you want (NOT the pattern). This will probably be a black and white image. The first thing you do will be to pick the size. This is the width measured left to right as shown in the image. Next you will need to choose the type of vinyl you want the decal to be printed on. The choices are at the BOTTOM of the color list in the second pull-down menu. You MUST choose CUSTOM FILL as your color choice if you want a printed pattern decal. Be sure to understand what type of vinyl you need by going to the printed vinyl material page. There is important information on that page so choose wisely (example: clear has VERY limited color options for ink). You may choose to the Reverse/Flip the design if desired. Do NOT choose this option if the design has lettering within it as this is not available for this style of decal. You will need to skip the "Second Color Options" (steps 4 and 5 on the product page). Skip these even if you do want an outline. Choosing these options will just add cost to your decal that is not required. So just leave both steps 4 and 5 "normal as shown". This is the MOST IMPORTANT step in ordering a full color design. In the comments box state clearly how you want the decal to look. You will need to first go to the printed decal colors page and pick out the pattern and/or color(s) you want used. Simply state the COMPLETE pattern/color name in the comments box. If an outline is desired then note that too and the color you want the outline. Several examples are listed below to show how you comments should be worded. Be sure to check your email within 24 hours after you place the order in case any questions do arise.
Before and After Fill is added	What to was put in the comments box to describe the change.
	TexasFlag1 Fill.
	Punched Red Carbon Fiber Fill with a Black Outline.
	Magenta Engine Turn Fill.
	Cheetah Skin Fill with a Black Outline.
	AmFlag2 Fill - The middle image has a Blue Outline while the last image has a Black Outline.
	Traditional Brown Camo Fill - The middle image has a Red Outline while the last image has a Black Outline
	Camo Breakup 2 Fill Note. The bottom camo image was made by customer request. This is NOT the Reverse option (repeat this is NOT the reverse option). It was simply stated that one of the decals was to have the logo on the right side of the lettering.

The image below shows 3 different style decals.

The first one on the left is your standard die-cut decal. The image on the order form shows it in black (upper left hand corner of the image) but yellow was chosen for the color. As you can see the surface color shows through all the open areas within the design. See the order form image.
The middle design is similar but is with a Full Color decal. The design is printed but still has open areas within the eyes and mouth so those are cut out. You can see what parts will be cut out on a full color decal as there will be a thin gray line any place there is a cut. See the order form image.
The final one on the right is a full color decal but there are no holes. The white edge wraps around the design giving it a white contour. Once again, the edges is represented but a thin gray line. See the order form image.
