SNAP SHOT 194 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 heat the surface up with the hair dryer until the sticker is hot all over but NOT too hot, then it'll peel of easily from one side then get celulose thinners and a clean rag to take of the gunk left from the stick, you may need to give it a few goings over but it'll turn out a treat...

rikjd 8 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 i once cleared all the decals off a works van with a power washer just turned up the heat and got close to it until they started to peel off, took me ten minutes to do the full van. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 We used to use a hot air gun in the coachwork's where I served my apprenticeship. Keep it moving , then peel off the decals when they soften. Then use a paint cutting compound on the panel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
