Default Re: Removing Decals

Heat gun and than use mineral spirits and WD-40 to remove any glue residue. A very tedious time consuming job sometimes.

Use the least amount of heat you can to soften the decal and peel it off slowly. If it over heats it gets to soft and will rip apart.

Some deacals are well made and come off easy. Some are junk and the facing seperates from the backing. They are tough to remove.

We used to have decals on all our service trucks. When it was time to sell them....we spent a lot of time removing the decals. There are always shadows in the paint where the decal was.

We get vans wrapped now......
