[Shop-talk] decal removal

[Steven Trovato]

It sounds like these letters have been on the truck for many 
years.  Keep in mind that paint fades, and the paint under the vinyl 
has been out of the sun.  The ideas that have been proposed should 
help you remove any residue, but if the paint is less faded where the 
letters were, there's no amount of cleaning that's going to fix 
that.  You could always cover it up with your own vinyl or magnetic sign.
