Removal of the ugly decals

Today was the day I have been looking forward to for the last 3 weeks.

Anytime I have had free I have been out the back with the WD40, the missus hair dryer and a plastic blade slowly heating and ripping the ugly decals off the truck. Bloody glad to see them gone to be honest.

All in all it probably took 8 man hours, 3 packs of durrys and a whole lot of expletives.

Now to start tweeking the mechanics of it before it hits 400k and get her on the tracks.

We used to use dental floss on motor bike decals

Definitely looks better I reckon.

Nice work! How did you go removing the pin stripe? I'll be removing it from my gq shortly, but it looks like it isn't going anywhere.

Definately looks better mate. Some of the decals they put on cars are fairly out there hey!?

Nice but you left the Ford badge.

I liked the stickers it looked very umm... 1980 lol, nah mate it looks a million dollars now !!! Well done!!

Much cleaner now, nice job!

Just one of those pain in the butt job that needs doing.
100% on on what it was, Metho or 3M goo remover will remove any glue residue.
Fishing line foe newer style badges.

I used a pressure washer - they came off easily.

Looks loads better without those gash stickers on mate.

looks way better now! just too shiny, needs more dirt!

from a auto paint shop get a stripe removal wheel. it goes in your drill and takes off stripes with no residue left. just a quick clean up.

wouldnt that damage paint work?
