im going to get my decals removed in the spring/summer from my 94 Accord EX, doin it when the weather is much hotter, ive had the decals for 2 summers, ive talked to a professional about it and they said i have to sign a waiver before removal and they wanna charge 60/hr for removal, but i also know someone that i work with thats a race car driver and said that decals can be removed with mineral spirits/nail polish remover, can anyone verify the risks of removing these decals either by myself or with a professional, about how long it will take a pro to do it? they are on the lower part of my doors on each side, they say VTEC POWER and are about 5" tall each letter... any tips or advice anyone who has done this before, thanks

 

ummm.... you could use ur finger nails an peel them off....

 

BTW they're vinyl, and i dont want any paint to come off with the adhesive... im hoping to hear from people who have done it successfully... have you done it with vinyl ones?

 

I had some small stickers and put a hair dryer up to it and peeled it off of my car....I dont know about big ones though....

 

i know there was a guy around here on this board that had decals just like mine that said pioneer on the side or his ride... im hoping to find him cause mine are about the same size and he removed his successfully

 

the adhesive wont take the paint off. just let the car sit in the sun for a while to get the vinyl nice and soft. just peel away

 

thank god your getting rid of those decals:thumbup:

like everyone has said, let it sit in the sun and use hairdryer to get the decal warm. it should come fairly easily. your next problem is an sticky goo left behind. this can be minimized by making sure the decal is nice and soft. i'm not sure what to use on the goo, but there is something out there. go to an autoparts store and ask.

also, pray that the sun didn't fade the paint so bad that it doesn't leave the letters in the paint where it didn't fade.

 

i wouldnt think the paint would fade too bad right?... the clear coat is still real good on the car, the decals are 2 summers old... god i hope that doesnt happen... whatcha think?

 

BTW... decals arent history on this car... i wanna get the NISMO 400R pinstripe... hot as hell!... just more conservative
