Decals after delivery?

[Rufus]

I got an Oxford White RR a few months ago without the decals. Can they be added after the fact?

Yes you can order them from the dealer or get ones made from a decal shop.

Can the dealer put them on properly?

Yes if they have a good body shop person. Anyone can install them but a body shop person would have more experience than say a mechanic.

I would maybe look for a local vehicle wrap shop, see what they would charge to install them.
‘Those type of business specialize in installing vinyl material on vehicles.

I've installed large decals, You carefully plan the placement and use a Sharpie to make reference dots. Use a water solution with Just enough dish soap in it to slide the decal around. Yes, you install them wet, and squeegee them out carefully. A Wrap shop is your friend.

I got the Oxford White and I just feel like it’s missing something. I was also thinking about a bit of winter camo here or there instead…I’ll find a wrap shop.

If I get ceramic coating should I do that before or after the decals? I’d assume before.

I had my RR ceramic coated the day after I picked it up. Just recently I saw a decal I liked much more than the stock and was going to pull the stock decal, clean and then install the newer (and a little larger) decal.

I had a feeling I needed to check with my detailer before doing so and I’m glad I did. My detailer told me if I installed a new decal over ceramic coating it will not adhere properly and would lift.

So much for replacing.

The coating can be buffed off in the area where the decal will be installed and it’ll adhere fine.

Really helpful, thank you.

My professional says differently. I’ll listen to him who also holds my warranty.

I’m not sure what I’ll do in terms of details. I might get the stock Ford stuff, but I’m also trying to think creatively with winter camo or Code Orange.

Both sound awesome! Post pics when done.

IMO, if you are going to do aftermarket decals, make it different. Why be like the other RRs? I don't know what the winter camo would look like, but probably more interesting than stock decals.

I agree, I’m thinking that or maybe some winter camo and code orange mixed in
