Decals

I've removed pin striping off of a vehicle using a blow dryer and razor blade. Heat guns work better I believe.

Having been in the decal business I'd say that is a really good price. The upside is they have experience doing this so the final product will look better.

I removed the stripes and decals on my RV using a few of these eraser pads which you attach to a drill.

Harbor freight has heat guns for cheap just be careful pulling them that you dont burn the surface. They come off easy if not to old but sometimes they are a pain try a small area before you commit. good luck

I removed and replaced the large front decal and two medium size ones (one on each side). The job was not that hard with a hair drier and a 1 1/2" putty knife ( After getting the peeling started with the putty knife I peeled mainly with my fingers). I tried a heat gun early on and it didn't do as well as the hair drier. The front one took about 3 hours and was approx. 30" x 6'-0". It was the last one and I was more experienced by the time I got to it. The ones on the side were 12" x 5'-0" and took about 4 hours each. After removal I cleaned the areas with Goo Gone and then cleaned it again twice with 91% rubbing alcohol as the decal instructions say not to use citric cleaners as the final cleaner. Applying the new ones was not hard at all it just requires two people and watch a couple of You Tube how to's. By the way mine was on a Keystone Outback, I see yours is a Keystone also.

I just watched a video on doing this and they used an eraser with a hand drill and a plastic razor type blade. not a metal razor but plastic so you don't screw up the surface. then used glue remover to clean the surface. it's on You tube, just look it up.

1300 is cheap. I've removed all my decals in the past year. Not hard to do, but tedious. Used a 3M wheel, a heat gun, and Goof-Off. Took about 30 hours. Tried to replace front decals. Harder to do than it looks. Paid the factory to do it. Was more than 1300 including decals and labor. As I said, 1300 is cheap for complete job.

My question to the OP is: Why replace the decals? They will just booger up again and you will be back to square one.

Is there an alternative to replacing them?

2. Leave a blank slate, which I love. We don't have decals on our house. Nor do I want them on my rig. Or, you can have the swoops and swirls painted on. Someone on here posted pics of his rig before and after decals. Blank looked great to me.
