How do wall decals apply over trailer walls?
Ok so I want to put a tree decal in my room. My room has walls like a trailer or double wide where there are slats(? Not sure what they are called) they are like wall supports but anyways how well do wall decals apply over them because they are like bumps

not very special.

there will be a slight distortion at each edge of the panel covers as the designed-flat decal has to be wrapped around the cover. if you view it straight on, you will appear to have some slices taken out on both sides. looking from either side, the other side will look like it has a slice out of the decal pattern.

can't be helped.

you see a similar effect on a bus wrap advertisement. the difference is, a bus is engineered to not have significant protrusions from the overall flat sides, so the little warp over window gaskets and access door hinges isn't a big distraction.

the clever graphics designer will sample the artwork over the shadow outline of a bus, and avoid putting a significant letter or product feature over those areas.

wash your wall well and rinse it before applying your decal, so it doesn't peel up or bubble and make things look worse.
