Custom Waterslide Decals for Diecast Models

Custom waterslide decals for diecast models are precision-printed transfers that add headlights, taillights, logos, racing numbers and custom graphics to 1/64 and other scale diecast cars, turning ordinary castings into one-off customs. Whether you customize Hot Wheels, Matchbox or JDM diecast, the right decals complete the look.

What Are Diecast Model Decals?

Diecast model decals are small water-slide transfers printed on ultra-thin carrier film. After soaking in water, the film slides onto the diecast body and conforms to curves, panel lines and cast details. Once sealed with clear coat, the markings look painted on. They are widely used for headlight and taillight details, brand logos, racing liveries and custom graphics on 1/64 scale diecast.

Graphics for Every Custom Style

Diecast customizing spans everything from realistic race replicas to wild show-car graphics. We print headlight and taillight details that bring castings to life, brand logos and badges for authenticity, racing numbers and sponsor liveries for track-inspired builds, and custom graphics such as flames, stripes and themed wraps for show cars.

• Light details - headlights, taillights, indicators
• Brand logos and badges - authentic manufacturer marks
• Racing liveries - sponsor marks, numbers, stripes
• Custom graphics - flames, wraps, themed designs

Popular Diecast Scales and Subjects

Designed for Small-Scale Precision

At 1/64 scale, every millimetre matters. Our prepress ensures even tiny headlight shapes and micro logos stay sharp and in register. Spot white underlay makes colours pop over any paint colour, and the ultra-thin carrier conforms to compound curves without building up visible edges. We work with customizers, collectors and small-batch diecast producers who need repeatable, high-quality graphics.

Application on Diecast

Apply decals over a glossy, sealed paint surface. Use a small amount of setting solution to help the film settle over curves and panel lines, then blot away excess water with a soft cloth. Once fully dry, seal with your preferred clear coat to protect the decals from handling and give a smooth, integrated finish.
