depends very much on the underlying paint. When I was at Trek, we would just use paint thinner. This worked because the paint thinner didn't affect Dupont Imron once it had dried. Eric Keller Boalsburg, Pennsylvania USA

I received help with this question before but I\u2019m hoping someone has figured out a new strategy. I\u2019ve tried soaking with citrus-based cleaner, WD 40; I\u2019ve even gotten a tiny bottle of decal remover for model planes and trains. Nothing seems to work well.  Does anyone have a better suggestion? Chuck Hughes Westwood Ma
