Have managed to get myself a Titanium H/T Frame but would rather not have the decals. Before I try and remove them has anyone on here done this and what method did you use?
Cheers
hair dryer to soften them works well..
I used nail varnish remover (acetone) to soften them and they came off with a little rubbing. The frame was polished anyway so a quick rub over with brasso/duraglit took off any remainder.
Acetone for cleaning Ti, for sure. Stay clear of IPA
Local boy Macavity found the following info that's worth reading...

Don't use acetone, that'll probably 'change the molecular structure of the paint' peel hairdryer-softened-sticker off then remove sticky stuff with white spirit.

paint?
Nowt wrong with IPA, nice pint too.
Is it just bare then?
If it's just bare Ti, slap as much Acetone as you like at it.

That was my (possibly incorrect 😳 ) assumption
Thanks People I will try the Hairdryer and acetone to clean off afterwards.
Yes it is Bare. Cheers 😀
