Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My '93 zook has some very pretty purply green 'splashes' ...

After copping magnitudes of abuse when out on the track, i have tried to remove them. The stickers take up most of the door, and have picked around the edges, but not with huge success.

What i have tried:
- hairdryer (pretty useless, but some progress)
- Heat gun (better, but can get too hot, or not hot enough, and back to square one)

followed both of these up with acetone to remove the glue, and this works a treat.

Has anyone got any 'secret squirrel' way to remove the decal?

Or should i toughen up, and put this on the 'rumplestiltzkin' job pile: one of those jobs you would give your first born child for someone else to do, because it is soo tedious/painful

maybe a squirrelly wrath, SQUIK has a post on here some where from a few month back when she removed the X90's swoosh

there are quite a few threads on this in general 4x4 discussion

cheers.
Looking them up now.

Buy a caramel wheel and use it in a cordless drill. works unreal.
you can get them at any decent auto paint suppliers.

leave em on. they'll stop the paintwork from getting scratched off road!

A hair dryer works fine, heat them up and peel them off in 1 piece. The wifes hair dryer has removed alot of decal for me, if only she knew.

Yeah, the decals are brittle and faded, and heating them up works the best, but you are only getting about an inch or so off the decal before it splits again. Then you spend the next hour chipping off tiny little pieces of the decal with your fingernails.
This week i have been driving to work with tatty half-chewed stickers on the zuk!

Will try the caramel wheel? this weekend - the other posts i searched had much the same info!

Thanks guys!

one way or the other the decals are coming off this weekend.

Just spray over the decals, noone will know

Just like drivers buying, say, ex Safeway trucks, they have SAFEWAY on them in a nice bright factory white, surrounded by dull scratched whiteish paint.

i used a sticker scraper on mine.. and patience.. and a few beers
tended to work fine. just done it on a hot day also made it easier.
