RainyDayDecals

I am in the process of a partial restoration of a 1971 BMW R75/5 that was fitted with a Windjammer fairing and a Vetter RanyDay fender. In order to get the fender in decent shape, I need to remove the crumbling decals. The OEM fender on this BMW is fiberglass so I cannot use heat. I tired soaking rags in denatured alcohol overnight but it had no effect on the remaining decals. Is there an other way to remove the decals without ruining the finish underneath the?

Try using a hair dryer and peeling them off. Tedious project, at best, but I have had success this way.
