Why Don't You Offer Certain Decals in 1/64 Scale?

Quick Answer

Some detailed designs—especially vintage racing numbers with thin outlines—become too small to cut accurately at 1/64 scale. The result wouldn't meet our quality standards.


The Technical Challenge

At 1/64 scale, a racing number that looks great on a 1/24 car becomes incredibly tiny—often just a few millimeters. Here's what happens:

Intricate Designs Don't Scale Down Well:

  • Fine borders become impossibly thin
  • Detailed outlines blur together
  • Clean die-cutting becomes impractical
  • Numbers without solid backgrounds are especially difficult

What This Means in Practice

Decal Type 1/24 Scale 1/64 Scale
Large racing numbers (with background) âś… Perfect âś… Works well
Vintage numbers (outline only) ✅ Perfect ❌ Too small
Bold stripes âś… Perfect âś… Works well
Fine pinstripes ✅ Perfect ⚠️ Very thin
Detailed roundels ✅ Perfect ⚠️ Limited detail

What We DO Offer in 1/64

We have a solid selection of 1/64 scale decals that work beautifully at that size:

  • Racing numbers with solid backgrounds
  • Bold racing stripes
  • Simple roundels
  • Flames and graphic patterns
  • Window tints

These designs are specifically created to look crisp and professional at smaller scales.


Our Commitment to Quality

We'd rather not offer a product than offer one that doesn't meet our standards. If a design can't be executed cleanly at a smaller scale, we focus on the scales where it shines.

If you need specific graphics at 1/64 scale that we don't currently offer, let us know—we're always evaluating new products based on customer interest and technical feasibility.
