Is installation of decals offered?
The decal kits are made for DIY installation, they are surprisingly easy to apply and need no skill to apply correctly. We supply, you apply!
Will I need to cut the decals when applying?
The decals are designed and cut already to perfectly fit each section of the vehicle. There may be slight overhang and door jams that can be trimmed with a stanley knife.
What else do I need to apply the decals?
Masking tape is recommended to align the decal before application, and to help as you unpeel the paper backing. A stanley knife to trim the excess. A spray bottle with water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to slightly wet the decal location to assist in application.
Do you have a video to assist in application?
Yes, you can watch how easy it is to apply here;

What is included in my decal set purchase?
You will receive the decal set ready to apply, a plastic applicator and a small Dusty Decal sticker to put on your rear window, or tool box, etc.
Do I need to specify if I have a snorkel?
All sets will include two options; a small section before a snorkel and also a longer section if you didn’t have a snorkel. This only applies to 75/78 series (old shape) troopcarriers.
Why do the decals stop before the Landcruiser badge?
This applies to cropped decals only on the old shape, this is on purpose so there is no need to remove this badge to apply.
How do I remove my badges on my VDJ v8 troopcarrer to install the decal?
You will need to open your door card from the inside by unscrewing your handles (inside), removing the door card, unpeeling the plastic sheeting (waterproofing). Your badges are held on by special pins, once removed, apply decal and poke holes in decals and reinstall your badges.
If I have the ute style mirrors or Ocam Mirrors, how do I apply the decals?
You will need to remove the mirrors, and apply the decal. Once the decal is applied, simply poke holes in the decal where the mirror bolts go and reinstall the mirrors.
How long will the decals last on my vehicle?
The decals are made of high quality vinyl, which is topped with a clear lamination to ensure longevity. We would expect 5+ years. At our price point, we are sure you would want to change it more often.
Will the decals ruin my vehicle's paint?
No, unless you’ve recently done a respray (recommend applying at least a month after a respray) or your paint job has not been prepared correctly (if resprayed at some point). Apply decals at your own risk, this is automotive decal material but we can't ensure your paint quality is up to scratch. Dusty Decals does not take any responsibility.
If I want to remove the decals, how do I go about it?
Super easy, the best and easiest way to remove the decal will be to apply heat to the surface, using a hair dryer or heat gun. This will loosen the glue’s grip and make it so you can easier peel the vinyl decal from your vehicle. If it leaves glue residue, which it may, you can use a glue remover.
I have a newer Troopcarrier (VDJ) not 75 series, do you have a decal kit?
We sure do!
Are the decals only for white Troopcarriers?
They are for both white and sandy taupe troopcarriers.
