General question here . . .

If I wanted to remove the graphics from the body panels of a sled, without damaging the underlying paint, how would I do it?

I am thinking about an early '90s Exciter project that I might want to replace the graphics; the paint is in good shape.
 
NO PROBLEM 4 the TY Decal Blaster.

Any heat gun will work, I like this one because of it's adjustable heat range. Not to Cold & Not to Hott........Just Right ;)!


BTW.........It's a Steinel HL 1802E

Sorry I just tryed to down load pictures as they are just a tad too big, not sure how to down size them :o|

if you dont have a heat gun a hair dryer also works just takes longer.if they is any glue left you can use go-gone.

or i also use depending on size and age of sticker a eraser wheel.its basically a big round eraser that you install on a drill and it rubs the sticker and glue away at once.on a old sled like that i'd try that since the sticker will probally crack and peel in little pieces making it take for ever.wheels can be found at a automotive store for under $20 and will last a long time.
 
^^^i also use a hair dryer.Like stated above it does take longer but you dont have to worry about blistering the paint like you can with a heat gun.
