How do you remove old decals when prepping for new paint? Any other pointers are appreciated too. | ||

3M has an adhesive remover that will not hurt paint. Check you local auto parts store. It works slow and requires patients but it works. | ||

Pretty sure the decals (stock) are under clear coat. I wouldn't think that would work in that situation, would it? | ||

No, I was thinking raised letter logo. I believe you would just sand off clearcoat and decals As part of paint prep. I'm not a paint guy but I'm sure part of prep is sanding and filling and sanding. | ||
