How to: Removing sticker from GSXRAtcgeexer 06-01-2003, 01:40 PM Anyone knows how to remove sticker (factory stickers) from bikes? Someone told me to blow dry in the area to heated up and the sticker should come out. Anyone has tried this before or do you have a better suggestion? Thanks. I'll be waiting for the answer.
-J- Mackz 06-01-2003, 01:43 PM Get a heat gun or hair dryer, heat up the stickers until they get "soft" and peel them off slowly. If you do it right and take your time you won't have any glue residue left on the fairing. :) Mackz 06-01-2003, 01:43 PM Oh by the way ... WELCOME! :hellobye Atcgeexer 06-01-2003, 01:44 PM Talk about fast response, thanks Mackz. I will post my results. :) Atcgeexer 06-01-2003, 02:04 PM Mackz, I was able to remove the first one. Success, thanks, the only thing is that just a tiny amount of residue was left in one part. What's the eassy way to remove the residue? (Not too much, just a tiny in few spots.) Didn't want to heat it too much, afraid of bubbling the pain. In the next one, how hot can I go?
Thanxs. 2003-R1 06-01-2003, 02:07 PM Honda polish... RUFFSTUFF 06-01-2003, 02:08 PM A nice high quality paint thinner/remover and 250-grit sandpaper should work nicely on your 750..........
:p Atcgeexer 06-01-2003, 02:11 PM Very nice Ruffstuff. LOL Mackz 06-01-2003, 02:11 PM :iamwithst What he said! :D
Goo-Gone will work, you can get a bottle at your local AutoZone. Atcgeexer 06-01-2003, 02:14 PM Sounds like the sandpaper will kill my paint and leave scratches all over. New at this paint stuff guys. RUFFSTUFF 06-01-2003, 02:32 PM That's what great about Gixxers...........the depreciation is already factored in to its resale value so you can take a brand new one, trash it completely, and sell it for a tremendous loss.....just like the poor slob who tries to take care of it.:beer
:yesnod RUFFSTUFF 06-01-2003, 02:33 PM Seriously, I've had good success with Goof Off, which is readily available at Walmart.......... Atcgeexer 06-01-2003, 04:17 PM Got it with the Honda Polisher, left it in there for 5 minutes soaking and it came right out. Thanks for your wonderful advises Ruffstuff. :butt 2003-R1 06-01-2003, 04:20 PM I <3 honda polish... RUFFSTUFF 06-01-2003, 06:33 PM Originally posted by Atcgeexer
