Default Turbo decals

Hey,
I'm thinking about getting the turbo fender decal. However, I'm not quite sure that I will like it. How does one safely remove a decal without hurting the paint? And while I'm on the subject, whats the best way to remove the side stone guard stickers?
Thanks, Josh

Peel it off by hand. It wont hurt it, just takes time. I have done it wen I changed the decal colour.

You can use a hair dryer to assist removal...affects the adhesion of the decals!

Heat gun or hair dryer do nicely to loosen glue and soften vinyl. There are products by 3M and one called "Sticker Shock" designed to remove bumper stickers and graphics, also. They're not especially strong solvents, mostly alcohol I suspect but, together with applying some heat, they speed up the process.

Body shops use various products that are adhesive solvents that do not hurt paint. The most effective I have used is called "Speedy 500". That with a hair dryer will remove just about anything.
