How to Remove Decals.
 

Water Release Decals

  1. Clean the surface of the machine, fountain, cooler,etc before removing the decal.
  2. If its a water release decal you will want apply hot water to it for a few minutes. To do this simply use a rag or towel that has been soaked in hot water.
  3. After a few minutes try to get under the surface of the decal using a razor blade, credit card, or something else that is thin. Note: Be careful not to scratch the surface of your machine. The goal is to lift the decal edges up.
  4. Grab hold of the decal edges and slowly pull outwards. Note: You may have to continue to add to the decal to loosen it. A spray bottle or the towel should work.
  5. When the decal is removed clean the area with Windex.

Adhesive Backed Decals

Adhesive backed decals can sometimes be tough to remove.

  1. Heat the decal up slowly using a hot towel.
  2. Spray all the edges of the decal with Windex.
  3. After a few minutes try to get under the surface of the decal using a razor blade, credit card, or something else that is thin. Note: Be careful not to scratch the surface of your machine.
  4. The goal is to lift the decal edges up. Grab hold of the decal edges and slowly pull outwards. Note: You may have to continue to add heat to the decal to loosen it. A spray bottle or the towel should work.
  5. When the decal is removed clean the area with Windex.
  6. For tough decals try using a hair blow dryer on low heat. Be careful not to make the surface to hot.
  7. You may have to experiment a little bit but eventually you should be able to remove the old decal. Note: When decals are removed the paint under them is typical a different shade than the surrounding area. This is because the decal has protected the paint from fading.I am not sure how you can purposely fade this area back to the original color. Rubbing compound may work but I would test it on a hidden area on the machine first. In any case I would in recommend placing another decal of similar or larger size over the original location.
