There are many ways to personalize your ride; licensed Dodge or Ram decals are a classy way to add character to your Ram truck. Vinyl graphics are great because they hold up no matter the weather conditions. In addition, Rocky Mountain Graphics offers custom-made graphics for vehicles and tests them on our vehicles for you, so you know they will fit perfectly. They have recently received their license to create graphics for Dodge, Rams trucks, Jeeps and other vehicles in the Mopar family.

Protection

One benefit of putting a decal on your Ram truck is the protection from the paint on your vehicle. A decal can act as a protective layer for the paint, helping to prevent scratches and other minor damage. This can be especially useful if you frequently drive on rough or gravel roads or park your vehicle in areas with a lot of foot traffic.

In addition to protecting the paint, a decal can also help protect your vehicle’s underlying body from the elements. For example, if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, a decal can help to shield your vehicle from the sun’s UV rays, which can fade and damage the paint over time. Similarly, a decal can help to protect your vehicle from the damaging effects of rain, snow, and ice.

By protecting the paint and body of your vehicle, a decal can help to preserve the value of your vehicle. This can be especially important if you plan to sell or trade-in your vehicle in the future, as a well-maintained and attractive vehicle is likely to fetch a higher resale price.

Three Tips to Follow When Applying Your Graphic

Tip One: Clean the area where your decal will go 

You’ll need to get some soapy water and wash the area where you’ve decided where your graphic will go. Skipping this step will cause the decal not to stick properly. It is also crucial that you completely dry the area with a microfiber cloth. 

Tip Two: Choosing a method that works best for you

Before committing to completely sticking the graphic on your Ram or Mustang, you can use different kinds of methods to help ensure the licensed Dodge or Ram decal will blend effortlessly on your vehicle. One method is while holding one side of the graphic away from the vehicle, you glide the other side on with the rubber squeegee to make sure it is applied evenly and straight. You can also do something referred to as the wet method, which is spraying the area with soapy water before starting, which can help avoid air bubbles. 

Tip Three: Carefully peel and stick the graphic on your vehicle 

Depending on the size of your graphic, you can do this step yourself. A bigger graphic will need more hands to apply. You’ll want to use a squeegee to get any air bubbles out before sticking it to the designated spot. It is also crucial to apply your graphic where it will be least likely to attract debris, ruining the smooth effect of the licensed dodge or  ram decal.
