Can I apply a transfer sticker to a painted surface?

*This article applies to both transfer stickers and printed transfer stickers.

Yes, but we recommend waiting 3 weeks after painting to apply your custom transfer stickers. If you apply your transfer stickers before the paint has set, bubbles may form under your sticker, causing it to peel off.

If your design is especially delicate, let it sit for 24 hours before removing the transfer tape. This gives your sticker time to adhere more strongly to the surface and makes it easier to remove the tape while leaving the design intact. (Learn more about how to apply transfer stickers.)

Also, be aware that removing the decal may also cause the paint to be stripped. We have found that enamel paint is most compatible with our transfer stickers.
