what's the best way to remove decals from a metal tank without damaging the paint?
If, which is unlikely, they don't have clear coat over them, try some WD40 or one of the special purpose removers.
You are truely a master of wit. I bow down at your capacity for inducing side-splitting laughter whilst ignoring norms like following up at the bottom of the post. I guess the masturbation is going well with you, build up those muscles.
Many thanks. Its nice to know that ones efforts are appreciated. It is hard to bottom post whilst typing one handed. Brian
usually they are covered with clearcoat and you will mess up more than you'd like to... if there's no clear coat over it; a hairdryer will make it real easy to get the stickers off. Remove NO-SPAM from email address when replying
thanks for the comments guys. here are a few pics: http://jjjacobs6.home.mchsi.com/zx-7r_decal/index.html. there is a coating, but the decal is damaged so i might be able to get wd40 or decal remover underneath to help get it off. i started doing this with gas but stopped when i removed a few spots of paint (now touched up). that is how this all started. the bike was blown over and leaking gas dissolved part of the decal. when i get it off, should i repaint the whole tank then apply new decals and clear coat? does the paint need to be stripped first and what kind of paint and clear coat should i use? and has anyone used an airbrush (like for model cars/airplanes) to do this? thanks.
