Re: decals

depends how cold it is outside/or in your garage. Heating up the adhesive may take longer if its cold. I'm gonna guess around a hour

Re: decals

Hey,
try doing what I did. Just get fishing line and take off the emblems. Then get some goo gone and a cloth, and just rub it over the adhesive, it will come off. You might have to rub a little, but it will come off. It looks real nice once it's all done. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Re: decals

There is an S-10 emblem on each door, then a Chevrolet one on the tail gate. So there is 3 in all. Unless you want to take off the LS ones..then it's 5.

Re: decals

Hey man, I would be careful using a heatgun. You could warp the metal and mess up the paint if your not. What I used to take off mine waas dental floss. Slide it between the decal and your truck and saw it back in forth. Then just take the glue off. It's not hard and the glue comes off with a little elbow grease

Re: decals
