Who buys decals from DooDecals.com?
Anyone who is looking for that cosmetic item to finish or repair their snowmobile. Most of our clients are educated professionals in many lines of work, from Doctors, Lawyers, Military personal, to the purest collector. We do not discriminate.
Does DooDecals.com sell and ship world wide?
Yes. We sell and ship International to most established countries. During check out see if your country is on the list. If you don't see it contact us at and we will look into it. Some payment & shipping restrictions may apply in some cases.
What are the decals made from?
We use only the best quality graphic material designed for snowmobile use. We use many product name brands including 3M, Avery and others to achieve the correct colors. Materials are designed to be easily applied over clear coat or to be clear coated into the paint work for years of extra protection. (for steel parts only) Decals are printed single layer or made same as the original decals were mfg. In some cases we've come up with a better design in order to out last the original or for easier application. We spend many hours and funds in R&D to develop top quality products.
How do I apply the decals and clear coat paint decals?
Decal application & paint procedure is an extensive subject. Decal application is fairly easy but paint procedures can be tricky if you are not familiar with automotive painting. View the Application Tips page for more information on application tips & paint procedures.
My model is very rare, with low production numbers! Can you help me?
It is possible... But it will cost you extra to cover our flat rate design fees, the same as any professional graphics design studio would. This does not mean we do not want to help you, and we would be happy to showcase rare and exciting decals for these models. But the reality is our business depends on repeat sales for popular models. Once a rare, low production restoration project is done, it is unusual that we will sell decals again for that one particular machine. Without popular models DooDecals.com would not exist as a source for you while we wait for the next restoration project to come along. You must contact us via email to inquire to see if your project is possible. Our work load volume and waiting lists will be a factor.
How do I remove my old decals? What should I expect?
Removing old decals is a job all to its own. There is no easy simple way to remove decals. It always takes time and effort.
After decal material is removed, adhesive residue usually remains. Any decals that do not have clear coat paint will be easier to remove.
Use a heat gun to loosen the decal and begin to lift the decals. Not too much heat to burn the paint, and use extreme caution with plastic parts. Heat guns are hot enough to melt plastic. Then use mineral spirits to remove left over adhesive residue. (always try a test area on your paint when rubbing any chemical on) If parts have been clear coat painted, (including the decals). You will need to chip through the clear coat paint to get to the decals. It is unlikely you will find snowmobile decals clear coat painted.
Sometimes this can be done with a very sharp chisel or tough commercial type blade. But keep in mind you are going to damage the paint, so sanding and bodywork will be required to prepare steel parts for new paint.
Note... If you intend to remove decals for future pattern development, do this as a last resort. Record all the information you can first, before trying to peel off old decals. Most of the time original decals will be completely destroyed during the removal process.
I sent in a request by email, and got no reply! What gives?
Email is a wonderful thing isn't it?
We do not ignore email. That would be an unproductive way to conduct business. We reply to every email we receive. Either we have the item and quote you a price, or we work on a solution if possible, or we tell you we cannot help. No matter how the response works out for you. At times during weekends and holidays we do not answer email, most of the time we can get back to you within 24 to 48 hrs.
But... Email is not full proof and there is a remote possibility your email request never arrived to us. Email backbones can go down which is unusual but your email can be lost in cyber space on rare occasions. Most of the time it is our reply to you that is bounced back or rejected by your email provider. These days everyone is sick and tired of Spam and email virus. Your email providers are working hard and offering all sorts of new ways to kill Spam or a virus. Due to this some email replies we send do not get through. You must be sure to use a proper working email account in order for us to reply. If you use a Spam blocker be sure you allow our email access. Many times we send images of our product for your request. If you set your account to reject images or file attachments our email to you will not go through. If you use a secondary email address that you want us to reply to. Please be very clear in your request which email we need to reply to. Do not hesitate to try your request again if you feel we missed you. Please inform us the best you can or, we just may not be able to reach you. Thank you!
How do I store decals for later use?
Some clients may buy extra decals for a future project, or an existing project takes more time to complete than expected.
If this is the case, decals can be stored for a period of time without issue. But some precautions must be taken in order to keep decals ready to go for future use.
Due to mishandling by couriers and shipping personnel, long large decals are shipped in a solid box lightly rolled. Flat sandwich shipping has a very high damage percentage during transportation and handling. Consider that no matter how much reinforcement we put inside flat packaging. Couriers and Post handlers are not thinking about you when they throw 60lb boxes on top of fragile flat pieces.
Long large decals will be rolled with graphic colors facing out. Don't worry, keep in mind that all our raw decal material comes to us on large rolls. So we haven't changed the format very much after we print cut and ship to you.
In fact all roll material has a memory and wants to keep it's roll shape.
Decals are shipped sealed inside a plastic sleeve which will protect decals form dirt and the environment.
Keep decals inside the plastic sleeve until you are ready to use.
Decals could lay flat on their own accord over time, but you will be fighting their natural memory shape.
In fact you may find much difficulty in attempting this.
Do not place objects or weight on decals to attempt flattening.
You may risk damage to the decals by pressing marks or creases into the product.
Again, you will be fighting the roll natural shape of the base stock.
The best thing you can do is leave decals alone, don't mess around with them until you are ready to have a professional install.
Decals must be stored at room temperature, or in an environmentally controlled location.
By following these simple rules, decals will store without issue for a very long period of time.
If you suspect shipping damage, please read our customer service page here.
Customer Service
I would like to order multiple small items, but think the shipping will be too high. What should I do?
Try putting items in your cart then continue through a pre-check out.
You can view your order, cost and shipping before moving onto the Final Payment step.
Our system will add $0.50 per each item added to your cart.
For e.g. shipping cost may be $10.00 for one particular item, add 2 more items and the total shipping cost will be $11.00
Let's assume you add to cart 4 separate (smaller items), the shipping shouldn't be more than approx. $9.00
Which is less than one full kit price of $15.00 shipping.
Ultimately this will depend on the particular or various items in your cart.
By choosing 6 sets of large hood stripes, your shipping costs will be higher.
But our system will never charge over $25.00 for shipping.
Due to shipping cartels extreme rate increases.
Overseas destinations and Canada orders will have a $7.00 rate add-on fee.
How do you ship items to USA, Canada or Overseas?
Yes, we ship world wide.
All items ship via various Postal options.
Canada orders are shipped from our Ontario location.
USA and International orders are shipped from our NY location.
This way we can stop the import duty fees, taxes and customs delays.
Within North America this will help save you some costs.
USA customers, orders are shipped Tax Free.
Canada customers, we must collect taxes GST or HST.
Unfortunately, International customers may experience some VAT (import) tax as we do not have shipping locations overseas.
