Product details

Mockup preview: Finished-truck images are illustrative application previews. Your download contains flat waterslide decal artwork only; no physical car or printed decals are included.

Digital waterslide decal artwork download only. No physical car or printed decals are included.

What is included

One single-page, decal-only PDF containing the supplied five-piece ’83 Silverado layout: two opposite-side wraps and three center pieces. No instruction pages, headings, rulers, calibration bars or placement labels are printed in the PDF. The listing image matches the included artwork.

File size and model fit

The PDF uses a US Letter page (215.9 × 279.4 mm; 8.5 × 11 inches). The complete artwork arrangement measures 50.93 × 77.11 mm, including spaces between pieces—not the size of an individual wrap. The established artwork and print dimensions are unchanged. Check the wheel openings, body ends, panel heights and each center piece against your exact ’83 Silverado casting; scale alone does not establish fit.

Print at Actual Size / 100%

1. Open the PDF itself, not a screenshot or listing image.
2. Select the paper actually loaded in your printer, such as US Letter or A4, and choose Actual Size / 100%.
3. Disable Fit to Page, Shrink to Fit and borderless enlargement. Do not enlarge this small PDF page to fill the paper.
4. Use ordinary paper for the first cut-out test before printing on waterslide paper. Do not stretch width and height separately to force alignment.

White lettering and diamond plate

Ordinary home color printers do not print opaque white or metallic silver. The diamond plate is a printed visual effect, not a reflective finish. On clear film, white lettering shows the paint underneath. Plan for a suitable white-painted base, white decal film or white-ink process; trim white film carefully.

Paper and application

Choose waterslide paper explicitly compatible with your printer. Follow the exact paper’s printable-side, drying, sealing, soaking and transfer instructions. Mirror only when required by its transfer method. No-spray directions apply to the specific paper, not every ink combination.

Test ink, paper and paint together on a spare surface. Apply to clean, smooth, fully cured paint. Support wet film while positioning it, gently remove water and air, and allow the prescribed drying time. Test softeners and final clear finishes separately before using them on the model.

Help and supplies

Ink runs: check paper, drying and sealing. White disappears: check film and base color. Openings miss: check print scale and casting geometry.

Photo-derived raster artwork in a PDF; not an editable vector or cutting-machine file. Fine detail and color are limited by the source photograph.

Print scale check

Download the separate 50 mm calibration page. Print it at Actual Size / 100% with Fit to Page disabled, then measure between the two end ticks. Test the decal artwork on plain paper against your exact casting before printing on waterslide paper.
