Default Honda

They put the stickers on the tank THEN lacquer the *******

What were they thinking

Anyone got a good idea on how to remove them easily, I have done one side last night and it took me the best part of 2 hours with a hairdryer and a scalpal!!!

Most manufactures lacker the stickers on the tank, its the panels they don't bother with.

My dad has this problem with the VFR he;s rebuilding....no other way than to just take it off along with all the paint, then when your doing the re-paint, put on a new decal

BTW the VFR is coming along nicely everyone, my dad has done an awesome job of repairing the really quite crapped-up fairings. I think he;s gonna get some new decals from the-image-works.co.uk

I bought a spare full fairing so I didnt have to cut my own good condition ones to fit crash bungs, they have the odd scrape on them here and there so I'm removing the stickers sanding them back to base coat and spraying them matt black.
