the addict Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) Decals getting a little tatty on the bike after 8 months of abuse so I am getting a new set in the new year. Was'nt looking forward to getting all the old ones off as they are stuck like **** to a blanket but came across ABRO paint remover in a spray can. Simply spray abit on the decal, leave it for 5-10 mins and even the most stuburn sticker/decal will just wipe off, amazing stuff. Does nt seem to have effected the metal or plastic underneath although I have cleaned the areas after quite well incase, saved loads of time. Make sure its used outside though as the fumes are bad and if you squirt it in your eyes by mistake its gonna smart abit.

scorpa3 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'd never want to ride my bike again if I replaced the stickers. I'd be too worried about scratching the new ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
