Vinyl Removal!

Finally the time has come. Less race ‘Merica truck! We have devised a plan. Remove the blue.

This was a nightmare project. Hours with a heat gun, and scrubbing glue off. I posted on IG half way through and a vinyl installer suggested a product, Rapid Remover. If your ever removing vinyl or stubborn glue from sticker buy some. It’s a miracle. The second side took me a little over 2 hours, where I spent DAYS on the first side.

The Beginning

Lots of glue got left behind, I started use Acetone to scrub it off on this side.

Glue…..

Cutting along the lines we want to keep and peeling the blue off. Just keep going…… Rapid Remover works great, spray it on, wait 60 seconds, use a bondo spreader or similar to scrape the glue off. Just turns them to rubbery boogers.

Side one!
Across the front!
Annnnd Done!

Much better! A bit more subtle…. Sorta.

I even got carried away, I pulled the chunk out that I cut out for the door (yes I still had it….) And peeled the vinyl back off. Then  tried to stick it back to the door. That was a fun experiment. It’s wrinkly, but looks good from 20 feet.
