How do you remove old decals when prepping for new paint? Any other pointers are appreciated too. |

3M has an adhesive remover that will not hurt paint. Check you local auto parts store. It works slow and requires patients but it works. |

Pretty sure the decals (stock) are under clear coat. I wouldn't think that would work in that situation, would it? |

No, I was thinking raised letter logo. I believe you would just sand off clearcoat and decals As part of paint prep. I'm not a paint guy but I'm sure part of prep is sanding and filling and sanding. |

I'm a big fan of the newer raised logos. Easy on, easy off, 3D, great look. |
