The down tube "Raleigh" and seat tube stripes are especially bad (doesn't look that bad in picture). I don't want to damage what paint is left.
Just a caution - did this on my Miele to remove the scratched and damaged decals and the new ones (NOS Miele) were slightly differently sized: after removing the old decals the paint fade was apparent and I didn't realize the slight difference in size until the decals were going on. I got used to it......
Oh and I used a hair dryer and patience......but the originals were vinyl. Not sure what the decals on yours are like.
