Overview: red & black racing scratch decals for a clean modern look
This collection includes 46 abstract side‑body sticker designs crafted in a classic red + black palette. The forms combine claw‑like scratches, lightning slashes and geometric streaks — a style that has stood the test of time on vans, tempo travellers and pickups. Each layout keeps bold vector simplicity so it cuts well on vinyl, scales cleanly for large panels, and prints crisp with no fuzzy edges on dark or light vehicles.
You’ll find minimal single‑stroke motifs for a subtle OEM vibe, along with aggressive multi‑layer patterns that feel more motorsport.
We kept the designs vehicle‑agnostic: the graphics are isolated on white, not mocked on a van, so you can place them on any body style.

How to use these decals in Photoshop, Illustrator & FlexiSign
Adobe Photoshop (raster workflow)
- Open your vehicle photo (clean side view). Place the PNG on top (
File → Place Embedded
). - Set the layer to Normal; use
Ctrl/Cmd+T
to scale proportionally. Keep sharpening off to avoid halos. - Use Warp to follow panel curvature. If needed, mask areas that tuck under handles or trims.
- Export a proof JPEG for client approval, then send the original PNG to print & cut.
Adobe Illustrator (vector/cutter workflow)
- Place the PNG; run Image Trace (Black & White Logo). Expand. Clean anchor points.
- Assign Spot Colors (Red & Black) for easy vinyl separation.
- Set stroke joins = Round to avoid needle‑sharp spikes while cutting.
- Save as
PDF (Cut Ready)
orSVG
for plotters; mirror the art if cutting for the opposite side.
FlexiSign Pro (popular in India)
- Import PNG → Trace Bitmap (High Accuracy). Remove background. Group.
- Scale to vehicle size in mm/inches. Add bleed/overlap if doing multi‑vinyl layer.
- Send to Production Manager with correct blade & speed. Test cut a 50 mm sample.
Sizing, color & lamination tips
- Length: 1400–2400 mm works for most vans; door stripes look good at 900–1200 mm.
- Contrast: Red + black pops on white, silver or light grey vehicles. For dark vehicles, swap red with white or neon.
- Lamination: Gloss laminate gives a premium shine; matte reduces reflections and hides fine scratches.
- Mirroring: Always mirror the art for the other side so the front feels like it’s slicing the air.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use these decals commercially?
Yes, for client projects and printed stickers. Please avoid reselling the raw files as a bundle.
Will they cut cleanly on a plotter?
Yes. Convert to vector and simplify nodes. Avoid very tiny spikes under 2–3 mm which can lift during weeding.
Do you have other colorways?
Try Hue/Saturation or Recolor Artwork to generate blue/white, neon lime/black, or gold/black variants in seconds.
