Removing original decals

The original decals on my MH are faded and starting to fray off, what is the best way to just remove them?

    That was me but I lost the pictures when Picasa changed. I used the steamer on most. The ones that were stubborn, I used the steamer along with a plastic type putty knife.
  • It's not as easy as it looks, especially if the decals are worn and cracking. I removed all of mine, but not without a lot of frustration and time. I am in the process of repainting my coach now. I removed mine with a heat gun and paint scraper.

  • I used a heat gun held about 10" away and they came right off.
    Be warned though that they leave behind a ghost image that makes it obvious the sticker was once there.
  • Hire someone to do it..... It took me 3 days to do it and boy were my arms,shoulders, back and legs tired.
