Removing Decals

Can someone tell me if the decals on a Langster are applied under the lacquer or on top? Are they easy to remove?

Cheers.

It's not going to help, people will still recognise the geometry.

under the laquer.

under the laquer.

Thanks

leave it in a vat of hydrochloric acid for about 2hrs, should do the trick ;)

Napalm is proven to remove 100% of decals.

Just scoop up a big handful and then rub onto the frame and light with a match.

I asked Kona this after I bought my Paddy Wagon (stupid name) They reckon they put the decals on under the laquer to stop the bikes being rebranded by someone else. What a lot of crap!

Yes.. please help!

hippy, you can get custom handlebar tape from these people - http://www.offthefront.com/sports.htm

Never be ashamed of your bike mate

It isn't really about being ashamed, some people just like the look of bikes without names tacked all over it.

Some bikes look nice by default (http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/images/charge_plug_hi.jpg) some not as sexy. :)

Yes.. please help!

is that tape ?

no, it's mere stickers! he spend age sticking every "what a cunt" sticker on his langster.

isn't it strange how, with the simple application of Britain's strongest swearword, an ordinary, even annoyingly bog-standard OTP can be rendered satisfying, unique and...goddamit.. special?

legendary, hippy. I never tire of seeing your masterpiece.

Nail varnish remover works a treat.

Spindly fingernails of a gypsy peasant?

Hi all,
Basically, I want to remove some clear coated decals without killing the paintwork. there are no edges on the stickers and are under a layer. I preferably dont want to nitromores it, but I was wondering if anyone knew a way of getting them off. I've googled and searched on here but not had much luck. if this fails, nitromores it is.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Toby
