I have been thinking about removing my Mitsu logos of my wing. How do I go about removing vinyl decals without screwing anything up.

This what I have now.


Also how do I go about removing the pin stripes?

use a hairdryer or heatgun to heat it up, then peel it off.
use some goo remover afterwards, then maybe wash and wax that part

That pretty much covers it.. although I would wash before you try anything just to get the dirt and dust away and I would defiently wash and wax afterwards.

I'm a big fan of the 3M Adhesive remover (can be found at walmart). Works great but does strip the wax so always a good idea to wax afterwards.

I had the dealership decals on mine and I just pealed them off and then used Goo Gone, worked great and didn't harm the paint.

Thanks. I take it that the pin stripes will come off the same way?

3M sells a stripe remover that you put on a digrinder and it's like a big erasoer and will not hurt the panit at all can try that.

I haven't tried taking off pinstripe, but if you can peel it the Goo Gone will take off the stickey stuff.

gasoline or kerosine works good..

Hot day and fingernails worked for me.

I de-riced my car in an afternoon at the drag strip (Buschur shootout - a DSM blew up on the track, so I had some time on my hands)...

The *best* way to remove vinyl is to use a steamer - like a handheld steamer you would use to get wrinkles out of your clothes. Just steam the decal and peel off (including the adhesive) in one pull. The cool thing about this is that you don't have to clean-up the adhesive afterwards

Second best is hair dryer and goo-gone or rubbing alcohol. The hair dryer will heatup the decal and you can pull it off. You will then have to clean-up the adhesive (glue) using goo-gone or rubbing alcohol.
