Looking at purchasing a low mile 83 ZX1100 that is in great condition with exception of the body decal stripes on the gas tank and side covers.
I have located replacement decals in the UK, via ebay of course.

Is there a recommended way to remove the original graphic decals without damaging the finish beneath?

Bump

Heat gun or hair dryer on low using the blank spots as a pattern.

Thanks Steve

If I do end up with this old factory hot rod, I don't want to damage what looks like a pristine paint finish in the potential PO's pics he sent me.
Not sure how long I'll tolerate just looking at the thing sitting in my garage, or/and if my wonderful wife has something to say about it.


So far we're good.

Havent used them myself but have heard these guys have quality decals from guys who have used them .rddecals.afegraphics.com/index.php?admin...arly%20GPz%20Line%27

No idea how to get old ones off without ruining paint .
