We are starting a new vinyl job on our boat and it is a lot more work then we originally thought it would be. We've been peeling off the old ones and this is the second day for that. We should finish taking the old ones off then cleaning the boat good today but then we have to wait until Monday to get the new ones to be put on. We got an excellent deal on them and couldn't be happier just wish it was easier job then it is haha. I'll be posting pictures as we go so you can follow along.

im diggin the "let there be light" sticker in the genny

 

[STTB-Ryan]

It was like that when we bought it but we're gonna keep that one lol. We finally got all the old letters off. Now I'm waiting on the other guy to get here so we can start cleaning up that glue. After that a good wash and wax and she will be ready for the new letters to be put on!

 

[TWright33]

Make sure whatever you use to take off the glue dont strip the paint off too :tu:

Taking off old decals is not a fun job in any stretch of the imagination!!

 

[STTB-Ryan]

We have asked tons of people what we should use and how to do it so I think(hope) we got some good information. And no it's not fun at all. And these had been on for awhile and were chipping every time we started to pull.

 

[HillJackJDS]

I used a couple cans of stripper (make sure you test it in an inconspicuous place first), some goo-be-gone, mineral spirits, and a pressure washer. No Fun!

Did you use a heat gun to get the stickers off just curious?

 

[VinnieG]

Our local guy that we use for vinyl has some stuff that takes that glue off real easy and dont hurt the paint but he wont say what it is . he also uses it to take tar off, just spray and wipe. IDK what it is but its good stuff.

goo be gone and then clean the metal with xylene and then it should be good to go.

lol you can assure him he is right. we were scrubing for a while and didnt put a dent in the glue that was holding them. but he did sell us a great boat, lol this is the only agrivation we have had out of it, and we didnt even have to do this job

 

[Ga.Adams]

Good deal! yall going to shoot the muzzy?

 

[STTB-Ryan]

Well Idk what he used but it looks like David got it clean from the picture he just sent me. That glue was THICK. The stuff we were using was just moving it around.. And yes Ga. we are definitely shooting the muzzy. How about y'all?

 

[DrZ88]

yep i cant wait!

 

[STTB-Ryan]

Alright I'm about to save everyone a ton of money and time with this. It's called a pinstripe eraser and it works amazing. Just get an attachment and put in on a drill and it eats right through the vinyl and the glue. It is definitely worth the money for this and it's not even that expensive.

And this is what it looks like almost done from using the eraser.
