Decal replacement

Hi Sapper D,
We had a sign written work van and removed the decals using a hot air blower / hair dryer to soften the decal and peel off as you go. You must be careful not to overheat and burn the duco though. From memory, it did not take too much heat to soften the decals and we removed them without damage to the paint. Hot water might do the same job. Obviously use correct personal protective equipment when doing the job. You can always test a small area and see how it works for you.

before you start pulling them off just check you can still get them, my 97 mdl 80s I couldn't get the 40th anniversary sticker, don't stock them now

Smash repairers from memory have a book of decal designs that can be ordered in. I had decals on an old Rocky many years back, and after the doors were repaired from a bingle, they showed me a book of different designs to choose from. They would probably tell you how to get them off as well.

Hi Sapper D

If you go to a automotive paint supply company they have a block type material that you can either rub on the decals or use it in your drill to remove the decals.
We call them caramel sticks as they smell like caramel and use them in the marine industry all the time for removing decals, signage and stickers from boats without any damage to paint or gelcoat. Far more safer than a heat gun.

Just check that you can get the replacement decals that you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Those hand held portable steam cleaners get decals off dead easy
Used a number of times with great success
