      OK, I have a hood from a 317 that I want to use on my 216. So I come to the paint and body experts to ask how is the best way to remove the old decals? Yeah I know I haven't posted any pictures of said 216 but I really do have one, honest!!!

I like the Heat gun to loosen up the sticker. If your repainting then I like lacquer thinner to remove glue and if not painting WD40 and or mineral spirits for your removal. Good luck Don it'll be a good weekend to stay inside and tinker in the cave.

Thanks Kyle, I hear you about the weekend but believe it or not the golf course will be open so I will be putting in some time at work. I will still get some garage time.

It's 30* an flurries up here I'll trade with  guys I had to buy a propane tank heater. Are you planning on painting the hood? Most automovite paint stores carry an adhesive remover. When i redid the 110 fore avery i just sanded the decals off.

       Yeah I plan to paint it ( not sure how it will look BUT!!! ) I'm going to give it a go rattle cans of course.

I peeled what i could an sanded the rest off but her hood was rough to start with.

You can alwayswRm up the spray cans a little it does make a big difference in how it sprays. Good luck Don. I'm sure it'll come out great

Well about one hours work and decals are gone. Heat gun and xylene for the glue.

There you go one piece at a time next thing you know you will have another one to finsh

That looks great an the hood itself doesn't look to be in that bad of shape

 

[truck21]

The hood is in very good shape. Now all I need is a painter and maybe it will continue to look good.
