I have this 97' Banshee that used to have a graphics kit on it....I pull it off and wiped the glue off with paint thinner, but it took for ever. Now my Dad bought me a 88' 250r that had a nac's racing graphics kit on it. I pulled it off like usual but only the clear top layer of the graphics kit came off, which leaves me with a big mess thats gonna take a lot of time. Anyone have any suggestions???

whenever taking off graphics use a hair dryer or heat gun to melt the glue. that way the decals come off nice and easy. use a razor blade to get the tough spots.

Hi Skywalker,

Go to an automotive parts store and buy some gasket remover. Test a hiden area to make sure that it will not discolor the plastic. I have never had a problem but would ask that you test first. Then spray it on the sticker and wait for a few minutes and wipe off. Very quick and easy. Works like a champ and is quick and clean.

Good Luck

KD

Nail polish remover will dull your plastics or atleast it did on a part of my old 300ex. Like KevinDevvet said, alway test what ever you use on a hidden part of your plastic in order to make sure it doesn't cause it do discolor or mess it up in any other way.
