How do remove old letters and decals?
Removing decals is a long tedious process. There is no set way to do it. Here are few pointers. Dont use sharp or hard objects to scrape letters off. This will scratch the surface. Vinyl is brittle in cold weather. It is better to wait for warm weather so that the vinyl will not break off in tiny pieces. It seems to work better, when removing vinyl, if you pull the vinyl SLOWLY and perpendicular to the surface. It is more likely to come off in one piece this way. You can also use a heat gun assist in the vinyl removal, but special care must be taken not to over heat the area. A heat gun can cause paint to melt and bubble if held in one place too long.
