Customize your BMW M6 GT3 Sideways with the official DSL007 decal from Decal Station
The reference DSL007 from Decal Station is a decoration decal specifically designed for the Sideways BMW M6 GT3. If you have a model that lacks some graphic detail, want to restore a worn decoration, or simply take your car to a higher level of finish, this decal is the right starting point.
Features and highlights
- Reference: DSL007
- Brand: Decal Station
- Declared compatibility: BMW M6 GT3 Sideways
- Type of decal: wet transfer, the most common format in slot and static modeling to achieve integrated and professional-looking finishes.
- Designed to adhere to lacquered or varnished surfaces, facilitating application for both hobbyists and experienced builders.
Scale and level of detail
The Sideways BMW M6 GT3 slot car line works in a 1:32 scale, the most widespread standard in the hobby. This decal is conceived for that format, so the graphic proportions are adjusted to the actual size of the body. The level of detail is characteristic of productions aimed at collectors and club competitors who do not want to compromise on visual fidelity.
Application and usage tips
To achieve the best result with this decal, we recommend following the usual process in modeling:
- Ensure that the application surface is clean, dry, and free of grease.
- Apply a layer of gloss varnish (acrylic or synthetic) before placing the decal; this reduces surface tension and avoids the "silvering" effect.
- Soak the decal in warm water for 15 to 30 seconds until it freely separates from the paper backing.
- Carefully slide it onto the desired area and adjust the position with a damp cotton swab.
- Once dry, apply another layer of varnish to protect and unify the finish. You can use products from Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo according to your preference.
If the body is going to receive intensive track use, a final seal with matte or satin varnish adds extra protection without compromising the appearance.
Ideal for…
- Collectors restoring or customizing their BMW M6 GT3 Sideways.
- Club racers wanting to distinguish their car with a well-crafted decoration.
- Slot modeling enthusiasts who enjoy the preparation process as much as the competition on track.
Considerations
Decal Station is a manufacturer specialized in decals for slot and modeling. Check the exact compatibility before applying: although the reference indicates BMW M6 GT3 Sideways, decoration variations between model versions may require minor adjustments.

Frequently asked questions
Is this decal compatible with other manufacturers of BMW M6 GT3 in 1:32 scale?
The reference DSL007 is specifically designed for the Sideways BMW M6 GT3. Although the model's silhouette shares proportions with other versions in 1:32, the graphics are adapted to the dimensions and areas of the Sideways body. Use it on other brands only if you have verified that the sizes match.
What type of decal is it: adhesive or wet transfer?
It is a wet transfer decal, the standard system in modeling and slot. It is applied with water, allowing for position adjustment before it is permanently fixed.
Do I need to varnish the body before applying the decal?
A prior layer of gloss varnish is always recommended to avoid the "silvering" effect and achieve a clean transition between the decal and the base paint. Once the decal is dry, another layer of varnish protects and unifies the finish.
Can I apply this decal over the car's original factory paint?
Yes, as long as the surface is clean and in good condition. If the original paint has imperfections or is worn, a thin layer of prior varnish will significantly improve the final result.
Does the decal include all the graphics of the decoration or just some areas?
