Question
I have a 1994 Ford E-150/ Mark III conversion van.
How do I safely remove the graphics without damaging the paint?
Thanks.
Mike

Answer
If it is a sticker use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the decal some and get it to start peeling and peel it with your hands to remove decal. Use adhesive remover to remove any left over glue. Or go to your local Napa type store and ask for a decal eraser wheel. Put it in a drill and go to town. Just don't get it too hot and it will not hurt the paint.
Thank you for the question!
