|   Is there a way to remove decals w/o scraping off paint? | Balthazar2000
Nov 26, 2003 2:27 PM | | Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to remove decals without taking paint along with it? I have an older frame with some decal leftovers, and I'd like to remove them altogether.
Thanks. |

It takes a while but eventually they come off (assuming they are not under the clear coat). After the stickers are gone, you're left with glue on the paint. Using "Simple Green" (cleaner) and a bit of Scotch Brite (often found on kitchen sponges) you can remove the glue without affecting the paint. |

Then shine up that old frame w/ Pam cooking spray. Make it look nice and new :- ) |
