  • Decal removal?

    Was idly looking at my bike yesterday during a break and counted over 100 decals/logos on it and I decided to remove some of them

    There are some stickers which will just peel off and I can remove the residue with WD40.

    Some of the other decals are screen prints on anodised surfaces I was thinking paint stripper but maybe there’s a better way?

    And the tyres 🙄 what’s the best way to de-logo the sidewalls?

    Any advice welcome

    A really good scrub tends to get transfers off anno. I’d be a bit nervous about paint stripper. Permanent marker for the sidewalls?

    If it’s a transfer on anodised metal then acetone (nail varnish remover) will do the trick. Apply a little, let it soften the transfer, then rub off.

    Try a hairdryer on it.

    Worked like magic for me recently.

    Hot air gun works for me (take care on the temperature, though!), removing any sticky residue with white spirit.

    Update: Wilko’s own brand paint/varnish stripper is £4.99/500 ml and removes logos from anodised surfaces in minutes
