28CRAIG 2 Posted July 18, 2007 Should be easy enough just use a hot air gun but the paint could be faded if been on for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Hot air gun helps, clean up with panel wipe or similar to remove gluey substances then polish. It's pretty easy, some more so than others depending on type of adhesives, and how it was applied, and even down to whether the paint was clean/polished before they were applied. I do quite a few, doing a Skyline atm, has massive great stickers up it! Edited July 18, 2007 by BazGTMi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamGTi 0 Posted July 19, 2007 An air gun helps but I have removed decals in the past with my girlfriends hairdryer. All you need to do is melt the glue then polish it off afterwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted July 19, 2007 It's pretty easy, some more so than others depending on type of adhesives, and how it was applied, and even down to whether the paint was clean/polished before they were applied. Couldn't have put it better myself Experiment with the amount of heat applied as you remove them - too little and the vinyl can be brittle and break off in little pieces. Too much and you'll leave all the glue behind on the panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
