I own a digital Vinyl Graphics shop and did custom paint for about 9 years on HD's. My suggestion, since you're mostly trying to save the chrome, is use enamel reducer because it will soak into the old tape good before it evaporates. Lacquer and MEK and stuff like that evaporate really quickly. Use a plastic squeegee or bondo spreader and everything should come right off.Got Guts - Get Graphics

I ended up using a plastic ice scraper(found under the seat of an old car)after keeping it wet for a while. then I finished it off with some thinner and steel wool..came out good... Thanks everyone for the ideas...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...inblack005.jpg Anyone need an old Pontiac??http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...inblack002.jpgLast edited by Daffy427; 12-01-2008 at 05:44 PM.
