Engine bay is looking good! How did you get the stickers off in one piece, I attempted mine and it seemed like I would have to destroy them to get them off. I like the idea of taking them off and putting them on a piece of paper like that.

Thank you sir! Well......I gently lifted up one corner with one of those little bitty razor blade paint scrapers, then pulled it v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y and then if it stuck, I pushed it with my fingernails (girl here....lol!) to get it going again.

When it gets toward the end and begins to come off, be careful that it doesn't curl back onto itself.....keep it stretched out until you can paste it onto a sheet of paper.

Take your time and good luck!!

Hey M,

I REALLY like that canister decal. Engine bay is looking good. We just have to get that lid done now.

Another thing you can do is heat the decals up with a hair dryer or a heat gun on low, it takes about a minute or two to get the glue to soften up and they should come right off.
