Sun Festiva Decal!!! ughhhh

[David88]

So then my mom came out yelling at me saying that i can't use the heat gun near the gas tank like that. so now i'm stuck in rut! i don't know how to get the rest of the decal off without using the heat gun around the gas tank. Any ideas??

Here is what you should do. Ignore Mom and use the heat gun anyway. You won't blow yourself up.

you would need to go to a body shop or somewhere like that. The regular store doesn't carry them.

I have seen them at our local parts houses.

Napa, Carquest, CSK, Knechts etc....

Heck even harbor feight has them, ITEM# 93048-0VGA

You would feel pretty bad if you saw on the news that a local PA girl got blown up while trying to remove decals from her car . . .

BUT SERIOUSLY it wont make the car blow up - unless you have a serious leak and your heat gun is set too high. I used to remove decals at the dealership from trucks and never had any problems.

If using an eraser wheel (which is the quickest way for baked on decals that wont peal off) make sure to use it at a lower speed and dont hold in in one place for too long otherwise you will burn the paint.

Bring it to Ohiostiva and have your "hubby" Genevadirt scrap it off!!!

From my experience, I feel the eraser wheel will take too long for a large decal like yours; it's better for pinstripes and dealer logos, littlle stuff. Probably more useful would be either the heat gun method, or WD-40 & a plastic scraper.

so let me see here....if the cars painted in enamel and you use enamel reducer all over it, does that mean the car shrinks since you used reducer ?....course, it also makes the decals smaller and less time to remove....:-)

Ha ha, that'd be funny. Start out with a daily driver, and end up with a Matchbox car.

lmao. Your not going to blow up, use the heat gun.

^^ She's had the old ones off and the new ones on for a couple of weeks now. I kind of like the Sun Festiva ones, but up close, they were pretty chipped up.

What method did she use and how did it work ?

[batstiva]

^^ She waited til Mom wasn't around, and used the heat gun. The gas fire was fairly small, and easily put out. :mrgreen:
Kidding, but she did end up using the heat gun.
