The steps below should enable you to remove your decals, and prepare them for scanning and restoring with your prefered graphics editing package, on your PC, and then printing.

You will need:
Hairdrier
Razorblade
Sheets of paper [A4] or two
Sellotape

- Heat frame/ sticker throroughly

- While still warm [glue still sticky] push razorblade under decal, and try to lift as much as possible.

- If decal in one piece, it should all peel off easily if the frame is still warm and the glue is still sticky. If does become harder to peel again, stop peeling and reheat again.

- If breakages/ splits occur – stop – and reheat. Use the razorblade to 'catch up' with the main bulk of the decal.

- Any holes or splits noticed beforehand can be patched up with the sellotape. This will help prevent further damage to the decal.

- Once the decal is off the bike, stick it to your sheet of paper. Any breakages can be pieced back together.


Hints:
- Don't try and be a hero. Rather than try to remove a large decal in one go, cut it into manageable sections.

- If your decals are thin and severely damaged, cover the entire decal in a layer of tape and, once heated, it should come off easily [and hopefully] in one piece.

just had a look through, you can also use a toffee wheel as wood5tock has done

whats a toffee wheel?

It's a drill attachment, kinda like a sanding-disc. It'll remove your decals, but you'll never be able to re-use em!

does it damage the paintwork though? im trying to remove decals but not paint?

apparently not , i asked about getting one and they looked at me as if i had i had 2 heads
