We have a 2006 Phoenix Cruiser 2551. We bought it in 2019 and had the decals replaced. It looked brand new, but the snow and freezing temps have cracked and faded the decals. I just want to remove them. Has anyone ever attempted this?

Following. Same question. We want the .com off of the back. Half is already worn off.

Plastic razor blades and mineral spirits???

Serrano - There are several RV vinyl graphics specialty shops out in the Riverside & San Bernardino areas. Or maybe ask the same shop that did yours before in 2019? The pros use a stack of 3M Eraser Wheels, plastic razor blades, adhesive remover, sweat, and patience. Yours might not be so baked on after only 6 years.

Yes there are but they want close to $3500 to redo them. I want to paint them on, decals don't hold up in the winter mountains.

In 2016 I was quoted $3k just to remove and replace the decals with custom vinyl graphics, not even reproduction decals. Instead I got custom 2 color multi-stripe paint work done for $5k. The white between the stripes had to be painted too, so that’s 3 colors. After 9 years of outdoor storage the paint still looks as new except for spider cracks on the side door.

Paint and body work here in CA is crazy $$$ due to the high costs for labor, rent, insurance, Cal EPA regulations, etc. etc. It’s hard just to find a shop with a big enough paint booth. You may want to search in Arizona or Nevada too

I had decals all over my 2500 crew cab pick up when I was in AMSOIL Dealer. When I retired from that, I used to heat gun and Amsoil heavy duty degreaser to get rid of the residue. It does take a lot of time to accomplish. Amsoil heavy duty degreaser Does not hurt paint, plastics or other things. I’ve used on many things for almost 20 years.
