Some newer stickers/decals are under a clear coat. The pin striping and lettering on the Nirve Switchblade are impervious to heat, solvents or adhesive remover. The only way to remove them is with sandpaper or paint stripper which will damage the paint under them.been thinking why heat gun doesn't work for me - I suspect that new & pliable decals are diff from old and dried out decals, or perhaps older decals are diff materials from newer ones
What Tom said. For the Stingray, a heat gun should work. But you will need time and patience. Don't try this on a day when you have a dentist appointment at 1 pm. Just go easy with the heat; don't fry the paint. After a little while the decal should curl off. You'll get it, I'm sure.A heat gun. Just be careful. Heat just the sticker and don't apply too much heat to the paint. After the sticker peels off you ca use any good solvent to remove whatever sticky stuff that remains. I've had good luck with 3M adhesive remover.
