At a marine (water/boat) supply you'll likely find several kinds of decal
remover chemicals which won't bother the paint/finish. The true "kicker" is
the rubber "eraser" disc that attaches to a drill (cordless is best). Made
by 3M but there are other mfgrs. When I asked at a paint store they seemed
to know what I was talking about before I got the words out. It basically
erases the decal or pin striping by heating it up and rubbing it off. No
paint damage. I used it to take the Westfalia and Syncro decals off mine.
