Mask it up and spray the decals with oven cleaner, the good old stuff with caustic in it is best. That is the way they remove sign writing from commercial vehicles.

Howdy tastourer, Funny you should mention that over cleaner, That's exactly what I used to finish off the job, the only trouble was I used a little bit too much and had to give some parts of the paint a re-spray. I found that Tar & bug remover did the job fairly well as long as I used a pot scrubbing pad with-in a short time of softening the glue, otherwise the glue went hard again. I'll not be attempting that job again though, don't thing the fingers could stand the scrubbing again. Just by the way, I called into the local Coromal agent the other day, they gave me a quote of $500.00 per side for new Decals, That does not include the cost of fitting the stuff. makes one think three times about replacing Decals in the future. cheers kiwijim

Well, I gave the Pinkies a rest for a week after the strain of removing the Decals off the Coromal, Then yesterday morning I collared my young Bloke and his Mate, then together we fitted the awning to the van.......... After pulling it off and on half a dozen times to get the spring tensions right, I next stuck the two strings of L.E.D. lights onto the near side and attached them to the out-side light...... Then waited till after dark to test the L.E.D's bright enough to find a beer on a dark night................ Not much more to go now, just a F/glass recess at the door for a fire extinguisher, then it's a big clean-up and start loading all the goodies for a couple of months on the road. "Bring it on" kiwijim
