removing paint from factory stickers

[1989 Tx DPS SSP]

On my DPS cars I used masking tape. Wrapped around my finger and dabbed at the paint with the sticky part.

There is a 5.0 website, I'll try to find it and send a link, they sell all of those decals. Unless you absolutly want the original ones.

Seems easier then removing hardened auto paint. Most chemicals you'll use to try to remove it will remove the ink on the decal.

Sort of lame the body shop would do that.

Ya, I know I can get new ones, but I was going to atleast try to atempt to save the original ones. I have a few things i'm going to try. Thanks!

A solvent (paint thinner, WD-40, etc.) can be used on the door sticker with no harm. That sticker is covered with a clear sheet, so the solvent won't affect the ink. Only if something has leaked beneath the sheet and gotten to the sticker itself will it be damaged.

Thanks, I have yet to try anything out of sheer nervousness. LOL!

I have used WD-40 before, with a shop rag. It takes lots of rubbing, as WD-40 is not that aggressive towards cured paint.
