denatured alcohol should work. theres a product called goo gone that should work too

Well you could allways mask the decals and paint right over them them pell off the mask.

if you careful you could lift the corner with a hobby knife then peel them off.

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to losen the adhesive and then you should be able to peel them off without any problems.

Are you tryin to re-use them?
doubt that is gonna work no matter what you do.
you could try a heat gun but that will most likely get em too hot and melt them.

contact a sticker shop they maybe able to scan them and print you off new ones

hey

i have managed to peel them all of, i jus soaked them in hot water, and peeled it off. You guys know what glue i should use to stick them back on.
And i dont wana scan another set of stickers, cos it will loose its value.

thanx

i would think you would need something you could spread evenly and when it dries will not harm them. Good luck in finding something.
I was gonna suggest good old Elmers glue but I am sure it will moisten and wrinkle them and also after a while will probably flake off

[tadium54]

you wont be able to stick them back on. stickers are pretty useless once theyve been used

I think tad's right. I pulled some off a Wild Willy not that long ago and think if I had used the old decals it would have looked worse than none at all. So I painted graphics and everything, then clear coated it. Here's a link to the old thread with pics.http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=184793&highlight=beater+body

A tiny bit (Really tiny) of Krazy Glue works sometimes.

[tadium54]

he said he doesnt want to depriate the value of the car, and krazy glue might have negative effets. im assuming you want to do this to a wild willly 2 right?

[EvaderSTKid]

I was talking about sticking it back on. If I remember riht, a thin layer is easy to scrpe off, but holds fairly well. Is the body going to be painted from the inside or the outside? Only do this if it's painted inside, as it may peel paint.
