I have a Pinarello, yes, the early 80s variety of which the decals have flaked mostly off and look horrid. The paint is in great shape but the decals make the bike look bad. My plan is to disassemble the bicycle, remove the decals and replace them and then clear coat the frame (with real clear coat, two part and spray gun, I have the equipment) but now my question--. I don't want to damage the existing paint, the decals are not clear coated now, what solvent or method would be used to remove the remnants of the original decals?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I think BTW the original paint is blue lacquer over a white base over chrome.
