Try this: a hairdryer or fanheater. Play it on the decal, close enough to warm it a bit. It'll soften the adhesive, allowing you to peel the decal off SLOWLY and often in bits & pieces. you might get a wee bit sore under the nails, but it works and it doesn't cost anything or damage the paint (unless you've had a bad repaint & it pulls the paint off BTDT). I've done this on a few vehicles, including taxi decals. |
