Tips for removing decals from carbon?
« on: July 06, 2024, 03:45:00 PM »
Bought some bars and they have this small, black logo on the front that's kind of gaudy and I don't like it - any tips on what to use and method to remove the decal? Just goo-gone? *shrug*

Depends, if the logo is under a clear coat gloss or matte finish, you won’t be able to remove it without more extensive measures. If it’s just painted over the carbon, you can try nail polish remover/acetone or goo gone. If I’m lazy I just put black decal tape to cover up logos.

I've tried multiple times to get decals off. If the're under clear coat, you'll need to do some sanding.

I tried multiple ways from chemicals to sanding...it never really turns out great unless you put a ton of time and effort into it.
