good evening radsters

I've ordered some nice new decals for my haro from Del the decal master

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

thanks brett - sure mrs griff has one lurking somewhere

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?

yes defo hairdryer pulled some off a powdered frame years ago and pulled powder off

i use some low odour white spirit to clean the rest off

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.
