apoc_reg Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 From when i brought my car it has graphics down the side of it. I dont hate them by any means but i wouldnt have put them on myself. Whats the chances of having them removed without the paintwork looking terrible? I would guess they have been on there about two years!

Jake Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 As long as they haven't been laquered over you should be able to get them off OK if you gently apply some heat first to soften the adhesive. Try using a hairdryer or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess they have been on there about two years! Cheers They can be removed, we had a hi-lux at work with the giant surf sticker down the side. I think they got them off with a low heat. These were original from the factory, so been there for years. Dont what ever you do, try and remove them with a metal scraper, as on of the monkeys at work tried.

apoc_reg Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 HEHE thats not a very good idea is it! The problem is if i start i have to finish!

Hope I beat jake this time this is normall on red vans.. which is a colour which fades easily if not cared for or polished, and they are always out side in the sun. There shouldn't be a problem after a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoc_reg Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 They get such mixed opinions its hard to say if i should or not some people just think they look like youv'e seen fast 2 furious to often others think because of the sort of car they look great. I seem to bounce between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerotop Dave Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 When I was down at dude's he mentioned an aerosol that signwriters used to soften up vinyl/acrylic (or whatever stickers are made of) and then they just peel off. The spray even softens up the glue (so dude said). I've got a sticker to remove myself so if you try the hairdryer route let me know how you get on.

Paul Laing Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I'd probably use a hair dryer to soften them up, then T-Cut the car if the colour under the stickers are different. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
