I dont think you're supposed to use goo gone on paint...but if its specifically made for it then go for it.

 

[RedDaemon]

yeah GooGone makes a specific formula for paint...can i use a hairdrier tho? or will that screw with the paint?

Use 3M Woodgrain and Stripe Remover. Your paint and you can thank me later!

Honestly though, thats the way to go!

Won'y you still be able to see the outlines of the decals due to fading being greater where the paint was not covered by the decal???

I had some for a few years. It was barely visible if you knew where to look. I've never noticed it since.

I was thinking of putting new cobra fender emblems since mine are messed up. How do you remove it without messing up th clearcoat.

theyre usually bolted on from the factory...reach up underneath the wheelwell and ull feel a bolt..they just come off..if theyre glued on...get a hairdrier?

oh btw guys....i just went outside and pulled a portion of the decal off...a part that u wouldnt notice one way or another if it was on or off...and i used GooGone sticker remover and wiped it clean and put a coat of wax on it...you can barely tell its there...u just have to know where to look and practically be looking at it from 6inches away ir less to see it

lighter fluid and a pressure washer is excellent as well. i used it to remove a large amount of body tape to re-align my saleen wing side pieces.

 

[RedDaemon]

lighter fluid? thats got to take off the clear coat...

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Nah, when you ignite the lighter fluid it creates sufficient heat to loosen the decals... Perfectly safe


Oh yeah.... NOT!

Dental floss to get the emblem off, then rubbing alcohol to clean up. Easy.

Try a hairdryer. A small amount of heat & peel gently as you move along. Also,try hot towels or rags. Apply to decals for a couple of seconds and then try to peel decals off. Stay away from the chemicals.(my .02)

Thats what I did and it works we'll!

If you want to take decals off. ALL you need is a hair dryer. Heat the decals up and they should peel right off. Then clean and wax your car and hopefully your sun marks from where the decals were wont show....

what do you think is so special about goo gone? it's basically the same thing. its all a petrolium distillant.

I used a pressure washer on my car (Festiva) to get some paint off that someone threw down on the ground. The friggen thing exploded when it hit the ground and rolled down our driveway. Ooooo was my dad pissed!

Sorry for being off-topic! :OT:
