Subject:decal removal
From:Sean Garrett

I am trying to remove the old crappy (falling off) decals from my 1987
Syncro. Its those funky looking racing stripes on the bottom panels. I
bought and used a rubber (eraser type) wheel and used it at slow RPM
last night. However it just turned the decal to a gummy substance that
just spread all over the van panel from the wheel. Worse than before !!!
 
Any body shop expertise out there I might be able to tap ? Suggestions ?
