decals if sprayed with cooking oil and left in the sun for a few hours come off easy too. Then you clean up with dawn.

In model railroading we use rubbing alcohol to remove decals and paint from plastic parts. The best is the type without oils and at least 70%.

Thanks! I'm realizing those of us who like yellow are apparently in the minority! Count me in there! I'm thinking to paint mine yellow and white, possibly. VERY nice job there! I just purchased a used scooter in rough shape that I will be painting soon. EDITED:  Didnt see but two posts at first and see my answer ;P |

Will do! It will be a process. Gotta get the mechanics squared too. It's running but in rough shape I picked up this rescue, just yesterday, for $75 . Needed a project and it looks like I got one!  |
