    Repainting, need to remove decals

    I'm repainting my baby. Any tips on removing the ISUZU raised decal on the back and the VehiCross side decals off?

    3m makes a spray glue remover that I used to remove ours... also use a plastic putty knife.

    Add a heat gun to Jamas' & Sport's suggestions and you have the trifecta method for removing emblems

    A little heat and fiber dental floss or fishing line works like a charm! Finish off the remains with standard goo gone!

    Luckily you are repainting it though so you don't have to worry so much about marring up the paint while getting them off. In your case, keeping the badges in good shape is more important that hurting the paint.

    I just used a razor blade. It was a bright sunny day so the glue was real soft.
