how long did it take. So all I have to do is heat the decal with a blow dryer and scrape it off with a plasic razor? Once heated does it peal easy?

Once the decal is heated up it will peel back easy. Don't get it so hot it starts to bubble up though! Just go really slow and try to keep it all in one piece to keep the glue from sticking to the panel. If there is some residual glue use a very mild solvent or rubbing alcohol. Good luck, cant wait to see th pics.

There's a product on the market called Goe-gone. It is made for taking off decals or anything that sticks on like stickers etc.... It wont arm your paint in fact that's exactly what is made for. You apply the Goe-Gone and wait 5-10 minutes and then it just comes right off. I have used it on my old bike and it worked like a charm. Not that expensive either, I paid $5 for a 150ml bottle. You can pick this stuff up in any hardware store like Home Depot, home hardware, Rona etc..... there are other brand names also just ask your local hardware rep and he will point you in the right direction

goo gone helps a ton. Taking off the stickers is a long, annoying process, but worth it in the end. IMO

use a bic lighter it sounds really stupid but you can push as hard as you want and it wont damage the clear. It takes a while just be patient. I used a bic lighter and stoners invis a glass to remove the goo. You can't even tell they were ever there.
