I personally wouldn’t use carb cleaner on the surface of my boat...I find WD40 works well and doesn’t harm the surface.Carb cleaner, spray on rag & scrub off
Hot day and Goo Gone. I picked a little where the scratches from the dock were to make sure the paint was ok. I think the graphic are the same thickness/type as all the damn warming stickers on the boat. Those peeled right off after I got the corners up with my finger nail and some mid day Florida sun. Little Goo Gone and a paper towel to get the residue off. I used to replace much thicker/heavy duty graphics on my motocross bike pretty much the same way. (I didn’t have the Florida sun back then to help out, and I didn’t care about what was underneath)Alright sounds good, I am going to go get a Dewalt Cordless heatgun for my cordless tool set kit. I was perusing this thread and maybe I missed it, but how to you get the glue residue off if there is any after I warm up and remove the decal?
What did you use to remove the stickers? Are you using denatured alcohol, goo-gone?Before and after. View attachment 120770View attachment 120771
Just picked away at a corner and got underneath it - then slowly peeled back. They came off in 1 piece. I then used acetone to remove the glue. Washed, polished, waxed, beers!What did you use to remove the stickers? Are you using denatured alcohol, goo-gone?
Took less than 15 minutes. Didn’t use a heat gun or need to use Goo Gone.Raising this thread from the dead. Anyone else?
I have a 2018 AR240 that is white/blue and curious if anyone took their decals off one similar
Next step is powder coating the tower black.Took less than 15 minutes. Didn’t use a heat gun or need to use Goo Gone.
What about removing it and going with Plasti-dip? Works great on car wheels, this seems less prone to abuse than that, and if you spray it with a reasonable coat, it can be peeled off, or easily resprayed if/when it needs itNext step is powder coating the tower black.
