Hi,
I am restoring a Pontiac Firebird Transam and would like to know how
to remove an exterial body decal. The car was repainted but the guy put
incorrect decals on it. How can I remove them without damaging the paint ?
Is there a checmical I can use to soften them up ? They apear to be a thin
plastic material like the 4X4 Offroad decals that are on my Ranger.
TIA
Bill

I'm not sure about *ALL* decals, but the ones I have seen are easily
removed with a hair dryer to heat them, then wax and grease remover to get
rid of the remaining adhesive stuck to the paint.

I think we should redefine and reassess these "sensitivities".....
