I removed all my frame decals on my KHS aero track (the decals were horrible, just horrible, IMO) with a simple method requiring no chemicals and a bit of patience.

Get a heat gun, the kind you use to remove latex (or other) house paint. Don't get too close, and don't sit in one area for too long. You can tell when it shrinks up, it's only vinyl after all. The clear coat looks untouched. A fingernail to get it started, and some goo gone just to remove some of the residual goo left over after peeling the bulk of the decal off sloooooowly. Once you get it started it's a snap, I strongly recommend it, but if someone else failed at this method please do tell, I don't want to be responsible for someones f-up.

Looks nice all chrome, should be that way from the factory. I want one to powder coat myself, anyone got a 57 frame for sale? Cheers all.
