Hi,
I have the original decals which cranking and peeling. The paint in the car still in pretty good condition. I am seeking for any suggestion in how to remove the decals without damaging the pain. I am planning to replace with good quality ones. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Stay safe and thanks!

 

heat gun on a sunny day. Might be difficult since they are cracked but best change of not damaging paint.

 

Spray nozzle on the hose will blast them right off like they were never there.

 

I like the 3M eraser wheels.

 

thank you all! I read that wd 40 might help loosened them up and not damaging the paint? Have any of you use it before?

 

eraser wheel.

 

I have a Snap On, Crud Thug that I use at the body shop. You need a pretty good air compressor to make it work, though. But it is SUPER FAST at removing decals

 

Am I really the only one who's blasted the decals off clean with a garden hose nozzle? I mean it's harder not to spray them off. If they're old, dry, and cracked, they usually come off leaving only the 'shadow' where they used to be adhered. Pretty sure a blow gun at 100psi would probably take them off clean if a person caught a loose edge.

 

I think the spray nozzle deserve a try. It can’t get any easier than that. I will try this weekend and let you know.

 

3rd vote for these they work great

 

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

be safe!

 

The Snap-On Crud Thug is an eraser wheel on steroids! But it's expensive....

I'd try a pressure washer first, then an eraser wheel of some kind.

Here's what a Crud Thug looks like. It's a bad mother hummer!

 

I think pressure washer might do it. They are in poor conditions at least the irocz decal on the doors.

 

The Crud Thug. What a great name for a tool! 😂

 

A pressure washer will often remove failing clear coat and paint all the way down to the primer. A regular old spray nozzle on the garden hose will do the decals without harming the paint, unless the paint is completely trashed.
