If you leave the original decal and your new one is a different size, the old decal will still be seen, ever so slightly.

Do you know if the opposite side of the fiberglass is the same smooth material or is it an unfinished side of the rock guard?

If the current decal is an issue and I can get it removed with a heat gun then I will hope the opposite side is finished as well and just paint the current side and flip it over decal the current back side after painting.

If this is the case that would work great!

My original guard was built differently than yours but that's an excellent idea. An unexposed fiberglass surface may get you 20 or so more years, especially if painted. My old Stracraft had exposed woven roving type of fiberglass that was deteriorated to the point of breaking/cracking. Your guard may have been gelcoated or have more resin applied (could even have been cast in a mold). Removal from the frame is about the only way to know unless someone else that owns a Prowler and has done this chimes in.
