« on: January 27, 2011, 09:26 PM »
good evening radsters

I've ordered some nice new decals for my haro from Del the decal master  8)
will shortly have to remove the ones that are on there so would appreciate any tips on how to remove them cleanly without damaging the powder underneath

cheers

Use a hair dryer it will soft the adhesive a bit and they should come off a treat :daumenhoch:

thanks brett - sure mrs griff has one lurking somewhere  :daumenhoch:
will wait until the new ones arrive first (so I can remember where they go)
any tips on removing adhesive stuck on frame? or do you reckon they'll come off clean?

actually brett while I'm on - do you have any pics of your bars close up so I can see where the decals are supposed to go?

Buy some isopropyl alcohol from e-bay, it will get the sticky residue off without marking the paint, its better than white spirit as white spirit will thin the paint if you rub too hard. Its pretty cheap as well.  :daumenhoch:

^^^^ :daumenhoch:  then wash it with fairy liquid solution

Isopropyl will do the Job as well without leaving a residue
