Question 1

How thick are your magnetic car signs?

Accepted Answer

Each car sign is 0.85 mm thick.

Question 2

Can I put a sign on a door that is curved?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, but no. For a secure fit, magnets should be affixed to surfaces that are smooth, without curves, dips or bumps.

Question 3

How long will my sign last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care and use, custom car magnets can be used for about two years. At that point, we strongly recommend replacing your magnet to prevent it from falling off your vehicle while you drive.

Question 4

Can I put a sign on a new paint job?

Accepted Answer

No, you’ll want to wait for your paint to cure – and this is also the case with a new clear coat or wax job. The recommended wait time is 90 days for a new coat of paint, 60 days for a clear coat and 2 days for wax.

Question 5

Will I ever have to take car signs off my truck?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We recommend these magnets for short-term use, especially repeat short-term use. Long-term use without caring for the car surface underneath can run the risk of paint damage. In fact, recommend you take your signs off at least once a week, and that you wash and dry the space underneath. If you live somewhere that experiences extreme weather, we recommend you remove your magnetic sign more frequently – ideally once a day – to keep your sign and car paint looking fresh.

Question 6

Can I wash my car with these signs on?

Accepted Answer

We recommend removing magnets before washing your vehicle.

Question 7

How often should I take the magnetic car signs off my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

At least once a week – and we recommend that you wash and dry the space under your magnet. If you live somewhere that experiences extreme weather, we recommend you remove your magnet more frequently – ideally once a day – to keep your magnet and car paint looking fresh.

Question 8

Should I match my car magnet to the colour of my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that you create an advertising magnet in a different (yet complementary) colour. Not only does this help your magnet stand out to people, it’s the easiest way to create a consistent look across multiple vehicles of differing colours. Just make sure you keep your messaging and design simple and clear.

Question 9

Where should I put my car magnets?

Accepted Answer

The best answer for your magnet may depend on your specific vehicle. If you’re working with a larger pickup truck, you can take advantage of the size of a side door with your choice of prominently displayed magnetic truck signs. Magnetic signs for vans may include options for side panels or even the back door – especially opportunistic if you’re often in heavy traffic. That’s why we offer a range of options that can work with a variety of vehicle types and sizes.

Question 10

How strong is each magnet?

Accepted Answer

The magnetic strength is 54g per square cm.

Question 11

Do your car magnets stick to all vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Like all magnets, our car magnets stick to ferromagnetic metals, including iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. They will not stick to aluminum, fiberglass, wood, plastic, etc.
