    Best way to remove decals?

    ?

    I've heard goofoff works but can't that stuff take paint off too? Pulling the decals isn't too bad, but getting the leftover sticky shit is....

    thanks
    Drive slow, homie.

    i've used goofoff or goo-be-gone or whatever it's called a bunch of times on frames and it's never taken the paint off. just be sure to test a little spot somewhere where it won't be noticed or doesn't really matter.

    What about a solvent? Some denatured alcohol would probably do the trick nicely.

    eucalyptus oil - should be able to get a small bottle from the drug store
    just put some on some cotton wool or a cloth and wipe the sticky leftover stuff off.
    doesn't normally affect paint but sometimes will dull the finish so check a small patch first

    That would have been my advice too. Test first of course, but typically it won't mess up paint.

    Just channel Vicious's steeze. The decals will remove themselves to color coordinate and match...

    wax remover works good too. Might want to make sure it doesn't fade the paint.

    get the solvent they use to install golf grips on clubs, don't get the water-based one though.

    Goof off works fine, just stinks. I've had equally good luck just taking a kettle of boiling water and slowly pouring it on the sticker...the sticker will then easily peel off or be scrapped off (using an old credit card or something). Works like a charm and no chemicals/stink. Just don't spill the water on you and you're fine.

    Seconded - 3M makes a good product - works and does not impact paint. Bike. Boat, Motorcyle - whatever.
