I want to remove my bubbled tank decals all together, what is underneath them? Are they just on top of the paint on the '97 M2 or are they stuck to the primer without paint underneath??

I believe they are under the clear coat and on top of the paint...but the paint has bubbled from underneath, so all needs to come off, be recoated and repainted.....then put the new hard tape on hard letters. rex

I was able to use the sharp point of a knife and lift the corner of a letter and one by one peel them out which leaves a recessed area for each letter. I then taped around each letter and air brushed in matte black and looks good counter sunk in matte black against the gloss black tank.

Thanks Kano832003,

A buddy of mine has a monster 900 with much the same look. Talk about evil twins!
