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 file. The listing image matches the included artwork.

File size and model fit

The artwork envelope is 50.59 × 77.50 mm, including spaces between pieces. It is centered at its original dimensions on a US Letter page (8.5 × 11 inches).

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. Turn off Fit to Page, Shrink to Fit and borderless enlargement. The artwork is intentionally smaller than the paper. Keep it at its supplied size.
4. Start with an ordinary-paper cut-out test before using 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. Clear film shows the paint beneath white lettering. Use a suitable white-painted base, white decal film or white-ink process, trimming white film closely.

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 specified paper, not every printer and ink combination.

Test ink, paper and paint together on a spare surface. Apply to clean, smooth, fully cured paint. Support the wet film during positioning, gently remove trapped 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 paint color. Openings miss: check print scaling 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.
