0 Kwhite Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 heatgun and 10pound test line...works AWESOME in my experience. the fishing line wont scratch the paint since its is cylindrical(now hard edges) and the heat gun/blow dryer will soften the adhesion good enough to pull it off safely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kwhite Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 dont forget about the pins that some of the decals will have. but even those f ya dont care ya can saw through with the fishing line. that or work around them until the adhesion is basically gone then pop it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I used a hair drier and 25 pound test but it was on clearance at the store so I thought what the hell... It worked great. I then used 3M adhesive remover. If you haven't tried it, you need to. It works AWESOME! WAY faster than WD40 or other removers. You can get it at auto paint supply stores or the internet.

0 dabirdzR/T Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 if the decal is just a sticker, use this.. that did not harm my paint at all, it is like a huge pencil eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JIMMY Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I used the above to take off all the factory pinstriping that up and down my truck. It worked out fantastic and did not harm the paint. JIMMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Frid Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I just used fishing line and my thumb lol. No scratches for me but would advise to use the items listed above if you don't want blisters on your fingers the next day xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find one in a regular auto part store, but most likely will need to find a PBE (paint, body, and equipment) store in your area. These stores carry professional auto body supplies, and should have these take-off wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
